Massachusetts Flag Meaning
The Massachusetts flag features the state’s coat-of-arms. This blue coat-of-arms consists of a Native American holding a bow and arrow. The arrow is held downward to symbolize peace. Next to the Native American is a white star representing Massachusetts’ entry into the union as the 6th state. Below the coat-of-arms is a ribbon with a Latin motto. This motto translates to say, “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty.” Above the coat-of arms is a sword held blade up. This symbol is there as a reminder of the American Revolution and the liberty won from it.
