The flag of the state of Zacatecas is, like most current Mexican state flags, the coat of arms centred on a white field.
Phillip II gave the city the name of Noble and Loyal City of Nuestra Señora de los Zacatecas. In 1588, he authorized its coat of arms. It is a crowned coat and it depicts the Cerro de la Bufa, a landmark of the capital, surrounded by its original discoverers. A cross on top of the Hill and an image of Nuestra Señora del Patrocinio. There's also the sun and the moon in its dexter and sinister side respectively. On the bottom is the motto LABOR VINCIT OMNIAQUE (“Work conquers all”).

The flag of Zacatecas is made up of four horizontal stripes, two in green and two in white, plus four flowers that represent the prehispanic cultures that habit the state. By Ricardo Vazoli, 2016.
This flag proudly represents many attributes contributing to the state of Zacatecas, including the aqueduct that is famously located in the state. Also, the flag contains St. Jame's Cross to represent 94% of the state that identifies as Catholic, and the red and gold represent their Spanish history. PennsylvaniaProud. 2017.
