Summary
About the place: Nagyszénás is a large village in the Orosháza District of Békés County, located in the Southern Great Plain region of Hungary. It lies in a fertile agricultural area known for its rich history and thermal bath traditions.
Flag Description: The flag (vertical banner) consists of a white field bordered along all four sides by alternating red and green wolf-teeth (triangles) forming a traditional Hungarian-style border. In the center of the field is the municipal coat of arms topped with a gold crown. The shield is divided horizontally; the upper blue field features a golden wheat sheaf crossed by a red-sleeved arm holding a silver sickle. The lower red field displays a silver and black coulter (plowshare knife), separated from the upper field by a narrow silver bar. Below the shield, the name 'NAGYSZÉNÁS' is written in an upward arc in black capital letters.
Symbolism: The traditional wolf-tooth border features the Hungarian national colors (red, white, and green). The heraldic elements in the coat of arms—the wheat sheaf, sickle, and coulter—symbolize the region's agricultural traditions and fertile land. The golden crown references the historic heritage and identity of the community.
