Overview

Sveti Ilija is some 20-ish km south of Varaždin with some 3,600 inhabitants (1993), in a hilly vine producing region, and this is reflected in the symbols. The county web site <www.varazdinska-zupanija.hr> showes the Coat of Arms: quartered, first and fourth gules a bunch of grapes vert slipped sable, second and third vert a fess wavy argent, overall a thunderbolt in pale and two arms grasping hands proper issunat from flanks clead argent. The flag is white with the coat of arms in the middle.

The flag of Sveti Ilija displayed in the Varaždin County assembly hall is a tricolour if blue over yellow over green with the coat of arms in the middle.
The coat of arms is slightly differently coloured then the one shown on the Varaždin County site (and according to which I prepared my image previously), but that may only be to the adaptation of the depiction for the flag material.
Previously I reported the white flag with the coat of arms of Sveti Ilija. Unfortunately, I have no record now how I cam to this information. It must have been due to some report we received on the list or I got from some visitor.

The community web site now shows a standard for of the Coat of Arms shield of slightly different details then we have reported beofre. This may mean that the community decided to change it unusual design and might have finally received the approval from the central authorities. However, there is no hing about what the new flag might look like yet. The only mention of the Coat of Arms and flag is in the part regarding the community history, where among the achievements of the early 1990's local government is included the decision on adoption of the Coat of Arms and a flag. The site seems to be under construction and might provide more info in future.

There is an image of the flag bearing historical coat of arms, presented on municipal website.

I saw this one recently and I contacted the webmaster trying to get more info, but no luck so far. It is not clear what this is, if it is a flag at all, weather it is a historical flag, a rejected proposal or what. The flag is certainly not from 1247.
