Overview

Joniskis (and Joniskis District as well) - on white field the arms of Joniskis: St. Michael slaying dragon, - decorated with crossed silver branches of laurel. Flag proportions 1:2, fringe is silver, finial is silver lily with silver bands, staff is white. The arms granted in 1616 by King Sigismund Vasa should symbolise the fight against Protestantism: the Vasa dynasty especially liked such usage of St. Michael symbolics.
