The Gonfalon

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"In October 3, 1998 the session of the municipal council approved the gonfalon: a rectangular canvas, in a red field there is a white church with a white cross."
Phil Nelson, 7 July 1999

The design of the flag of Bila Tserkva at the site of Ukrainian Heraldry is incorrect. The City Council of Bila Tserkva adopted a square flag (and not 1:2 or 2:3).

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"The modern coat of arms was approved in October 3 1998. In a gules field there is a or bow with three or arrows with edges, turned up".

The City

From the site of Ukrainian Heraldry:
"City in Kyiv Oblast. It is known since 1032 when was founded by prince Jaroslav Mydryj. Since 1648 it was a regimental town".

The name of the city literraly means "White Church", therefore it is a canting gonfalon.
