Flag of Quebec the "Parti Patriote" flag, a horizontal green, white, and red tricolour, which became the flag of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society; as well as the French tricolour. The direct predecessor of the modern Fleurdelisé was created by Elphège Filiatrault, a parish priest in Saint-Jude, Quebec. Called the "Carillon", it resembled the modern flag except that the fleurs-de-lis were at the corners pointing inward. It was based on an earlier flag with no cross and with the figure of the Virgin Mary in the centre. The "Carillon" flag was first raised on September 26, 1902, and is preserved in the Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec archives.
