Overview

Pajevonys (Vilkaviskis District) - on blue field over green threehill two golden bells. Flag proportions 5:6, free edges bordered with tight golden strip, finial is golden knob with two rings. The charge reminds that�once the local church had two bell-towers with bells "St. John" and "St. Joseph", but bells were taken by German occupational regime during World War I, and the towers were destroyed by German�army�in World War II. So�the bells hanging on heaven symbolize the losses of past.
