"In November 3, 1993 the session of the town council
approved the gonfalon: a square canvas with a ratio of 1:1. In a
white field there is a straight red Jura's cross. All four sides
of the gonfalon have a dark blue edging with yellow squares.
Width of the edging is 1/10, a cross is 1/5 from the width of the
gonfalon".

"City in Lviv Oblast. The first mention about Bilyi Kamin'
refers to 1493. There is an opinion that thanks to the owner
Vyshnevets'kyi the settlement got the status of a town in the
XVII century. On the old seals there is a picture of St.Yuri
piercing a snake with a spear".

It seems that St.Yuri/Jura is the Ukrainian name for St.
George.
Mark Sensen, 7 July 1999
The Greek name Georgios that originated the English George
(and the portuguese Jorge) has originated two different names in
Russian: Yuri and Gueorgui. I suppose in Ukrainian it is similar,
since it is so closely related with russian.
Jorge Candeias, 8 July 1999
