Empire of Ethiopia, 1897-1974

Empire of Ethiopia, 1897-1974

Ethiopia's colours green yellow and red at first appeared as three separate whimps, and were arranged in rectangular shape on 6 October 1897, with red at the top. The colours were interpreted as having a connection to the Holy Trinity and the three main provinces and stood for: red - power and faith, yellow - church, peace, natural wealth and love, green - land and hope. At some point the order of colours was changed. The Imperial symbol, the Lion of Judah bearing a cross, features on the central stripe.
