The flag (photo) and arms of Luelmo are prescribed by a Decree adopted on 25
March 2002 by the Municipal Council, signed on 27 May

and León, No. 108, p. 7,552 (text).

unveiled on 18 August 2002 during the village's festival.
The chapel represents the disappeared St. Gregory chapel, built
on the Cerro Santo (Holy Mount); the stars represent the two other
chapels of the village, the disappeared St. Christ of the Calvary

the gate of the St. Catherine chapel; the writing is of partial
Greek origin.
