Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The flag of Rakkestad municipality. This is divided into two parts with the colours yellow and green and you will see five clover leaves, three pointing upwards and two downwards.

The flag passed the royal resolution 11.07.1975, and it is designed by Truls Nygaard.

The clover leaves are symbolizing that Rakkestad is mainly an agricultural municipality. The two leaves pointing downwards are representing agriculture an forestry. The three pointing up are representing handcraft. The three leaves up may also symbolize three church spires and they are telling us that we have three churches in the municipality today. And that we have had three influential clergymen, Østen Bårdsen, Thorkild Ashehoug and Johan Ashehoug.

The two leaves down, symbolizing church spires, are telling us that we in former days had two churches more in Rakkestad, but these do not exist any longer.
