The emblem-shield
symbolizes the Aztec heritage. According to a beautiful
legend, the gods had advised the Aztecs that the place where
they should establish their city was to be identified when they saw an
eagle, perched on a prickly pear tree, devouring a serpent. They saw this
mythical eagle on a marshy lake that is now the zócalo or
main plaza in Mexico City. This flag was created in 1821,
when the Independence movement had ended victoriously. El Día de la
Bandera or the Fiesta of the Mexican Flag is
celebrated on February 24.
