As many of you have noticed, I have also a deep interest in symbolism. Today I'll share another little cultural information drawn from experience in my daily life as normally happens to me.
Three days a week route to a building where she took some of my classes. This building has a rather large garden in front and where there are flags of many countries and the United States flag, the state of Maryland and the University of Maryland. Several times I noticed that one or more of these flags are placed at half-mast, so I decided to explain here the meaning of that.
Originally, it was customary naval. The flag was lowered to half mast as a sign of mourning. When this event takes place, usually the flag is lowered slowly and accompanied by a ceremony. In some countries the flag is lowered only a distance equal to the width of the flag, as this symbolizes the space enough to make the invisible flag of death. "
