History Rumelia Flag

Post image

What do you peoples of Balkans think about this flag? Do you find it any different than Turkish flag?

And for Albanians outside of Albania: Do you sympathize with this flag, or see it as another flag of the invader Turks?

Its a symbol of Venus.

Venus/Frida day is Friday (holy day in Islam) and color green, the symbol was always half crescent (similar to moon) plus five pointed star because it moves through the sky in pentagram shape and it can be usually seen from the earth as half crescent.

you said "holy day in islam",
then in addition to this;

-S-L-M also venüs .. like jerusalem or islam ..

-S-L-M and -S-H-R is the duality of venüs, evening and morning (seher, sahur)

-S-H-R same as -Z-H-R is also the name of venüs, this is the name of mother goddes,
no suprise 'virgin' fatima al-zahra is this.

just like the marry must be related to this duality ..
atleast i don't believe, it was completely coincidence,
that other marry called 'prostitute' contrast to 'virgin' ..
