The only country in the world that has a Bible on its national flag is Dominica, a small island nation in the Caribbean—not to be confused with the Dominican Republic.
Dominica’s flag is unique and deeply symbolic. At the center of the flag is a Sisserou Parrot, an endangered species found only on the island, standing proudly on a circular emblem. Surrounding the parrot are ten green stars representing the country’s ten parishes.
But what makes Dominica’s flag truly stand out is that the parrot is perched on what many interpret to be a golden Bible—a clear reflection of the country’s strong Christian heritage and values.
Christianity plays a significant role in the lives of many Dominicans, and the Bible on the flag serves as a symbol of faith, morality, and national identity.
This rare inclusion shows how deeply religion is woven into the culture and foundation of Dominica. It’s a statement that the nation places its trust in spiritual principles, drawing strength from them in shaping governance, law, and society.
It’s a bold and beautiful reminder of how faith and national pride can coexist on a global stage.
