The colors of the Mexican flag represent important qualities: green for hope, white
for peace, and red for strength.
Why is this emblem on the flag?
Long ago the Aztecs’ god told his people to search for a caracara hawk sitting on a cactus devouring a snake. They found it at Lake Texcoco.
There they built a great city called…
…Tenochtitlan. Later the Spanish
conquistadors called it Mexico City.
