The '''Flag of Saint-Baptiste''' ({{wp|French language|Principean}}: ''Drapeau de la Saint-Baptiste'') is the national flag and ensign of the [[Saint-Baptiste|Republic of Saint-Jean-Baptiste]]. The current design was adopted in 1947, after the country's independence from [[Blayk]], and consists of a blue (often referred to as dark or navy blue) field defaced by a white cross, with a white anchor in the canton. The symbolism of the colours vary, but most popular interpretations denote blue and white as symbolizing either the sea and the sky, or courage and faith. The white cross historically has been seen as a symbol of the feast day of Saint John the Baptist, the island's namesake.
The '''flag of Saint-Baptiste''' ({{wp|French language|Principean}}: ''Drapeau de Saint-Baptiste''; {{wp|Haitian Creole|Baptistois Creole}}: ''Drapo Sen Batis'') is the national flag of [[Saint-Baptiste]], and depicts a white cross on a navy blue field, with a white anchor in the canton. Although only officially adopted in 1949, the depiction of a white cross on a blue field has represented the island since the 17th century, during the period of [[Vervillia|Vervillian]] colonization.
