Hořičky

About the place: Hořičky is a municipality and village in the Náchod District of the Hradec Králové Region, situated in the scenic foothills of the Krkonoše Mountains north of Česká Skalice. The village features a rural character, the Baroque Church of the Holy Spirit, and a historic tradition of bone-setting, folk healing, and local sanatoria.

Flag Description: The flag consists of two horizontal stripes, green and an embowed white reaching to seven-tenths of the width of the sheet, in a ratio of 4 : 1. In the green stripe towards the fly is a white rising dove with yellow armament and a yellow five-leaved sprig in its beak, accompanied beneath its sinister wing by a white cross. The ratio of the flag's width to length is 2 : 3.

Symbolism: The embowed white stripe represents a hill or mount, serving as a canting symbol for the name Hořičky (derived from 'hora', meaning mountain/hill) and its elevated topography. The green field symbolizes the surrounding countryside, nature, and agriculture. The white dove carrying an olive sprig represents the Holy Spirit, referring to the patronage of the local parish church. The white cross commemorates the village's historic tradition of bone-setters, healers, and local sanatoria, while also evoking the cross from the coat of arms of the Piccolomini noble family.
