Vatican Flag:
The Vatican City (Holy See) flag was adopted on June 7, 1929.
The colors of gold and silvery-white are the colors of the keys of St. Peter's (
the keys to heaven). The emblem centered on the white panel features those keys supporting the papal crown. The keys are tied together by a reddish rope. The flag, like that of Switzerland, is perfectly square.
