The Flags

The Trinidad Island Caribbean community, concentrated in Santa Rosa, uses a special flag. One day per year this flag adorns all the town, and is manufactured in great numbers for the occasion. The flag is vertically bi-colored, white to the hoist and red to the fly but on at least a day per year it is used also in two other colors: white and pink and white, and yellow. In the day of a great holiday in the community a queen is chosen, who parades through the streets accompanied by a red flag with yellow fringes in proportions 1:2 in one of which, in a single face, there is a white vertical rectangle (that does quite reach the top or bottom edges) and which bears motifs, probably religious (apparently the Virgin with a child that gives the flag the appearance of being vertically divided, approximately 3:2:3 and whose white part would be adhered or sewn on. The emblem of the community also contains the red and white colors, appearing in banners; on red parts are elements of the community, and below them the name (Santa Rosa Carib Community).
