In 1918 the Council of Lithuania appointed a special committee to design the national flag. On 19 April of that year a horizontal tricolour in the colours of traditional Lithuanian dress was approved.
Yellow represents the sun, the source of light, while green stands for nature and life. Red is the colour of love and the blood spilt in defence of the country.
The Lithuanian flag was readopted in 1989.
