Known as the \u003cb\u003eFlamuri i Shqipërisë\u003c\/b\u003e, it features a bold, blood-red field charged with a black double-headed eagle. This iconic bird traces its roots back to the Byzantine Empire, but it was immortalized by the legendary hero Skanderbeg (Gjergj Kastrioti), who used the eagle on his seals while leading a 15th-century revolt against the Ottoman Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe symbolism is as fierce as the design suggests. The \u003cb\u003ered field\u003c\/b\u003e represents the bravery, strength, and blood shed by Albanian patriots in their long pursuit of freedom. The \u003cb\u003eblack double-headed eagle\u003c\/b\u003e represents the sovereign state and the nation’s self-identification as \u003ci\u003eShqipëria\u003c\/i\u003e, or the \"Land of the Eagles.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlbanian \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlag Day\u003c\/b\u003e (Dita e Flamurit) is celebrated every November 28. This is the most important holiday in Albania, as it commemorates two monumental events: the day Skanderbeg raised the flag in Krujë in 1443 and the day Albania declared its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1912. During these festivities, the flag is draped from every balcony and paraded through the streets of Tirana, serving as a defiant symbol of national unity and a heritage that has survived centuries of foreign rule.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flags For Good","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47877305041141,"sku":"ALBANIA","price":36.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1373\/3790\/files\/albania-flag.jpg?v=1774402431","url":"https:\/\/flagsforgood.ca\/products\/albania-flag","provider":"Flags For Good","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
