Skaistgirys (Joniskis District) - on a green field five
golden sprays of ash tree leaves three over two. Flag proportions
10:11, free edges bordered with a narrow golden stripe, finial is
a golden knob with a ring. The green field represents the forest,
golden leaves mean brightness, and together they
symbolize the name of town: it originates from
"skaisti giria" ("bright forest"). In
Lithuania the ash symbolizes fortitude, and on these arms it
means the unbreakable nature of local people and their resistance
against the Soviet occupation.
