The reason for this is that in legend, the Aztecs, who were the last ancient civilization of Mexico, were told by their gods and or goddesses to leave the spot where they were. They were told that when they see an eagle with a snake in its mouth land on a cactus on an island in a lake, that is where they should set up their new home. That place is now Mexico City. The picture on the flag represents this story.
