Flag of Greece Napkin

Package of 50 white paper cocktail napkins with an image of the flag of Greece which is based on nine equal horizontal stripes of blue alternating with white. There is a blue canton in the upper hoist-side corner bearing a white cross; the cross symbolizes Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the established religion of the Greek people of Greece and Cyprus. According to popular tradition, the nine stripes represent the nine syllables of the phrase "Freedom or Death" (the five blue stripes for the syllables "Έλευθερία" and the four white stripes "ή Θάνατος"). The nine stripes are also said to represent the letters of the word "freedom." There is also a different theory, that the nine stripes symbolize the nine Muses, the goddesses of art and civilization (nine has traditionally been one of the numbers of reference for the Greeks).
