The Lexjuris
site image is not consistent with the text as regards the
order of colours and the width of stripes, and this image follows
the text. This city of 30,000 inhabitants was founded in 1692 (new
municipality in 1970). The red and yellow represent our Spanish
heritage, since they belong to the Spanish flag. Green represents
the tradition of San Patricio en Loíza [Loi'za]. The three
stripes separed by waves [ohoh] represent our geographic profile,
characterized by the fact that we are a coastal town, and also
have the river with the greatest width and flow in Puerto Rico.
The bell-tower shape represents our religious tradition and also
serves as a symbol of San Patricio Church as a historical
monument.
