Flag
The
yellow field and red symbol colors are the colors of Spain. First brought to
New Mexico by Spanish explorers in 1540. On New Mexico's flag we see a red sun
with rays stretching out from it. There are four groups of rays with four rays
in each group. This is an ancient sun symbol of a Native American people
called the Zia. The Zia believed that the giver of all good gave them gifts in
groups of four. These gifts are:
|
1.
The four directions - north, east, south and west.
|
|
2.
The four seasons - spring, summer, fall and winter.
|
|
3.
The day - sunrise, noon, evening and night.
|
|
4.
Life itself - childhood, youth, middle years and old age.
|
|
All
of these are bound by a circle of life and love, without a beginning or end.
