Divine title given to their chief male gods by the Phoenicians, or Canaanites, of the eastern Mediterranean coast about 1200–332 BC. Their worship as fertility gods, often orgiastic and of a phallic character, was strongly denounced by the Hebrew prophets.

Red represents the body as well as gallantry and freedom. White stands for the soul, purity, and justice. Effective date: 17 August 1945. >>
