About the flag
Honduras's flag has three horizontal stripes of blue, white and blue, with five blue stars in the centre. The stars represent the five members of the former Federal Republic of Central America and the hope that they might one day unite again. The two blue stripes are often said to stand for the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean on either side of the country.
Often confused with
