Information recieved from from Mr. M. Kundrotas, chairman of the League of the Lithuanian National Youth (Lietuviu tautinio jaunimo lyga - <tautinelyga.dokeda.lt>): The emblem of the League of the Lithuanian National Youth - The black shield is charged with three red bands. It symbolizes two conective aspects of Nation - the blood and the earth. There is two national flags of Lithuania Major and Lithuania Minor on top. White circle with three flames symbolizes the originality and the concurrent of three ethnic and historic parts of Lithuania - Lithuania Minor, Lithuania Major and Samogitia (equivalent in Poland: Great Poland, Little Poland, and Mazovia). This symbol was published for the first time in the press of Lithuania Minor on the junction of 19th and 20th centuries. White circle symbolizes continued perfection (circle), light (white color) and Baltic culture.
The flag of the League of the Lithuanian National Youth - The flag has same motive just the shield is replaced with cross and circle. This is an oldiest ornamet in the world. It means harmony of difference in movement: the cross passes into circle through swastika.
