## Summary[ edit ]

DescriptionFlag of Jamaica.svg

Русский: Флаг Ямайки
Slovenščina: državna zastava Jamajke

“The sunshine , the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people.

The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
