Bill > SJR0204

This resolution recognizes the Christian Heritage Flag as the official flag for Christian Heritage Month in Tennessee, which was established by legislation in 2024. Created by faith and community leaders, the flag has symbolic elements representing biblical narratives and Christian themes: the white vertical stripe represents the Old Testament with twelve gold stars symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel, while the seven blue and white horizontal stripes represent the six days of creation and God's day of rest. The circular center medallion features a cross and twelve white stars representing the twelve disciples, with the colors gold (representing God's glory), blue (symbolizing divine power), and white (representing righteousness) holding specific spiritual meanings. The flag was prominently displayed during Tennessee's first annual Christian Heritage Fest and was distributed to event attendees. The resolution emphasizes that when the flag is flown, individuals should be reminded of spiritual submission, God's sacrifice, and the promise of eternal life, ultimately serving to commemorate the significant influence of Christianity on Tennessee and the United States.
