The flag of Mississippi, also known as the Mississippi flag, consists of a white magnolia blossom surrounded by 21 stars and the words 'In God We Trust' written below, all put over a blue Canadian pale with two gold borders on a red field. The topmost star is composed of a pattern of five diamonds, an Indigenous symbol; the other 20 stars are white, as Mississippi was the 20th state to join the Union. The flag was adopted on January 11, 2021. Mississippi has had three official state flags in its history. The first flag, known as the 'Magnolia Flag', was adopted in 1861 and consisted of a 'Flag of white ground, a magnolia tree in the centre, a blue field in the upper left hand corner with a white star in the centre, ... with a red border and a red fringe at the extremity of the Flag'. The Magnolia Flag was declared to be 'null and void' by a state constitutional convention in 1865 and the state was left without an official flag until the second one was adopted in 1894.
