Flag of the Week – Sri Lanka
Sri
Lanka was known as Ceylon and used
to be a British colony. It became Sri
Lanka in 1972. You will see that it has a gold lion holding a sword on a red
background. The four leaves around the
lion are a Buddhist symbol. The green
and orange stripes are there to represent the Muslim and Tamil communities. I think it is a very distinctive flag.
