« This flag has no official status. It shows a Scandinavian/Nordic Cross, modeled after the proportions of the flags of Iceland and Norway: as like these countries, Frisia protects old democratic traditions. It also symbolises the bond (genetically and culturally) between the people living along the North- and Eastsea, as well as the christian and pre-christian religions. The four pompeblêden (the red ‘hearts’) symbolise the four parts of Frisia which lay distant from one another; they face each other as a sign of co-operation. »
