The center white stripe bears the national coat of arms, which depicts an eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, holding a serpent. This imagery is rooted in an Aztec legend that prophesied the location of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlán. The flag's colors originally represented independence (green), religion (white), and unity (red). Over time, the meanings have evolved to hope, purity, and the blood of national heroes, making the flag a deeply revered symbol of Mexican heritage and pride.
