symbol of evangelist Johannes, patron saint of Läänemaa and

The coastside town of Haapsalu has a memorial plaque in the
Dome Church accompanied by the national flag on the viewer's left
side and what appears to be the town flag on the viewer's right
side. But in this last case, the blue is somewhat like Very
light blue (B--).
