Зеленый контур в лучах восходящего солнца изображает границы нашего государства.

Издревле славяне поклонялись солнцу, т. к. оно дает тепло, свет и жизнь всему живому. Земной шар на гербе говорит о том, что наш народ ценит равенство всех народов на Земле.

Герб с обеих сторон оплетают снопы колосьев, в которые вплетены голубые цветочки льна и розового клевера. Это обозначения главных природных богатств нашей страны.

Лен - это растение, из которого люди уже давно научились делать одеж­ду, скатерти, рушники и постельное белье. Изделия изо льна прочнее хлопковых и теплее шелковых.

Клевер - это лучший корм для животных, которых белорусы с древнейших времен научились разводить и выращивать.

Венок из колосьев - это символ главного богатства наших людей — хле­ба. Кроме того, это способ обращения наших предков к божественным силам с просьбой об урожае. Белорусы каждую осень отмечают праздник «Дожинки», на котором награждают лучших хлеборобов и плетут венки из послед­них колосьев. Такие венки оставляют в доме до следующей осени, как символ богатства.

Колосья хлеба на гербе Беларуси обвиты красно-зеленой лентой с надписью «Республика Беларусь».

В верхней части герба горит красная звездочка. Это символ мужества нашего народа, которое люди проявляли во время многочисленных войн с различными чужеземными захватчиками. Великая Отечественная война была самой страшной и разрушительной для нашей страны.
