According to https://www.ndb.md/град-твардица-република-молдова-офиц, the town of Tvardița has adopted a new flag and coat of arms. According to the site, the symbolism for the flag reads:

"FLAG: The presence of the predominant green color on the city's flag symbolizes the fertile land of Tvardița. The green color also symbolizes the hard work of the inhabitants of Tvardița, hospitality, politeness and friendship (in our case with the neighboring ethnic groups from the surrounding villages, and some of them also live in the city itself – Gagauz, Ukrainians, Moldovans, etc.). The green color also symbolizes the church 'St. Rev. Paraskeva', which has not been closed since 1842 and is an architectural monument of national importance. In the Orthodox Church, on the day when saints and reverends are honored, it is customary for priests to wear green liturgical vestments. For this reason, the church in Tvardița is decorated on the outside with green, as it is the color of saints and saints such as Paraskeva."
