The Grito Lares flag (Spanish: Bandera del Grito de Lares), most commonly known as the Lares flag, represents the Grito de Lares (Cry of Lares) revolt of 1868, the first of two rebellions against Spanish rule in Puerto Rico. It consists of four equal rectangles, two red and two blue, the upper left of which bears a small, tiled, centered, white star, with a large, white cross in the center touching all four sides of the flag. The white star stands for liberty and freedom, the red rectangles for the blood poured by the heroes of the revolt, and the white cross for the yearning of homeland redemption. Having been established in Lares by Puerto Rican revolutionaries 27 years before they adopted the current flag of Puerto Rico in New York, the flag is recognized as first flag of the island.
