The flag of Paraná, Brazil, was adopted on 9 January 1892. It went through changes in March 1947, and again in September, 1990. [1]
The current flag took its form on 31 March 1947. It is composed of a green quadrilateral, crossed from the upper left angle to the lower right by a large white stripe, which symbolizes the Tropic of Capricorn [2] (which passes through northern Paraná), bearing a blue circle with the five stars of the Southern Cross ( Crux) in lower course. The Cross is depicted with south at the top, as it appears in the night sky.
The circle is crossed, below the "Star of Magellan" ( Estrela de Magalhães), by a thin stripe that suggests a horizon, featuring the word "PARANÁ" in green, lightened by the only visible star of that constellation. The sphere is surrounded by a branch of Paraná Pine tree — one of the most widespread symbols of the state — on the right, and by a branch of Yerba mate on the left.
