The Acadian Flag
Designed in 1883
In 1883, the first Acadian flag was
designed. The star is symbolic of Mary, Star of the Sea, who guided the
outcasts through storms and sufferings. The blue represents persons consecrated
to her; while the Papal colors, gold and white, show their loyalty to the
Church. The red denotes the courage and bloodshed of their forefathers.
Marie Babineau Belliveau (Mrs.Alphee Belliveau) made the first flag, which
is conserved at Musée Acadien
(à L'Édifice Clément-Cormier)
de l'Université de Moncton
à Moncton, N.B.
