San Lorenzo de Tarapacá Flag[]
During the celebration of the Fiesta de San Lorenzo de Tarapacá (August 10) it is common to see flags waving with the colors of the Patron Saint, in a simple design of two horizontal stripes, the upper one being yellow and the lower one red. although sometimes the order of the colors and the position of the stripes may vary.
This banner has acquired a whole identity meaning among people of Tarapacá since they are also colors that adorn Iquique during the traditional "Octava de San Lorenzo", an activity that brings together its devotees in the San Lorenzo de la Reconciliation Church, on Sotomayor street. from the historic port.
Despite the fact that this flag lacks official status, it is a visible symbol in streets and places dedicated to the Saint, especially in popular sectors of Iquique and Alto Hospicio, since San Lorenzo is the patron of transporters and miners, as well as everything Tarapacá.
