=============================================
The latin phrase "donec perficiam" means "till we prevail". It was a motto used by the Catalan defenders of Barcelona in the infamous siege of 1713-1714.
Here three Catalan independence flags, each with it's own history. From top to bottom, the estelada, born in the early decades of the XX Century (inspired by the independence of Cuba), the flag of St. George (used by England but also as the patron of Catalonia) with the said motto. And 3rd and most dramatic, the also historical black banner of 1714. This was also used in the walls of Barcelona, with the words "Viurem lliures o morirem", "we shall live free or die".
