circle superimposed to the triangle is a symbol of peace, friendship, work,
prosperity, purity and religious feeling. The green stripe in the flag's base

a symbol of honor, civility, courtesy, abundance, hope, fauna and flora refuge
for environmental preservation, and recalls the Santa Catarinense and Brazilian
origins as their official color. Yellow, in the stripe above the green stripe,
represents resources in grain and aspiration to progress, as well as, in
combination with green, a tribute to the motherland through its green and yellow
colors. Celestial blue, in the upper stripe, symbolizes the universe, heavens'
force and people's religious feeling, aspiration to infinity, people's
