Flag Description: The flag is a vertical banner with a white upper field and two horizontal stripes at the bottom: blue and yellow. Centered in the upper white area is the municipal coat of arms above a yellow ribbon bearing the black inscription '• NAGYSZOKOLY •'. The shield is horizontally divided: the upper blue field features a golden patriarchal cross on the left (viewer's left), a white rose with green leaves and a red heart with a cross in the center, and a golden eight-pointed star on the right. In the lower red field, a white falcon stands on two crossed golden arrows.
Symbolism: The falcon standing on crossed arrows cantingly refers to the name of the village (from Hungarian 'sólyom' meaning falcon) and its local heritage. The Luther rose with a heart and cross, alongside the patriarchal cross and star, symbolizes the religious tradition and Christian values of the community.
