Two days from now (Saturday, 10 July), The Bahamas celebrates 48 years of nationhood. My tie showing a stylized version of the national flag was brought back to me by Jonathan and Courtney 10 years ago after their brief mission trip. "The colours of the flag carry cultural, political, and regional meanings. The gold alludes the shining sun – as well as other key land-based natural resources – while the aquamarine epitomises the water surrounding the country. The black symbolises the 'strength', vigour, and force' of the Bahamian people, while the directed triangle evokes their 'enterprising and determined' nature to cultivate the abundant natural resources on the land and in the sea."
