Wołomin county flag (reconstruction!)
County of Wolomin flag presents, on the rectangle divided vertically
into 2 equal-width stripes: The white (silver) eagle on the left, red stripe
and St.Michael the Archangel, with the fiery sword and scales, on the right,
light blue stripe.
Symbolism of the Coat of Arms reflects the rich history of the region. Half-eagle
on the top derives from the historical Coat of Arms of Mazovia
- white eagle, without the crown, on the red field. It was the Coat of Arms of the
Piast Dynasty of Mazovia (Mazowsze) and dates back
from the XIII th Century. The eagle in the County's Coat of Arms is a stylized
rendition of the eagle from the seal of the Mazovian Prince Siemowit III
of 1371. St. Michael the Archangel was, in the Middle Ages, considered
a patron of the Knighthood and, according to the Bible, caretaker of the
Church, defender of the faithful and the destroyer of the Satan. In the
County's Coat of Arms and its flag, He symbolizes the Victory of the Polish
Army over the Bolsheviks during the 1920 Battle of Warsaw (Miracle on Vistula,
with assistance of the French General Maxime Weygand), which took place
in the area between Radzymin and Ossow.
