Flags With Crosses Trivia Quiz – Crosses on Flags

Crosses appear on many flags, most often with Christian origins. Nordic countries use the Scandinavian cross, shifted toward the hoist side, while England's St. George's Cross and Scotland's saltire combine in the Union Jack.

Different cross shapes carry different names: the upright Greek cross, the diagonal saltire, the off-center Nordic cross and the eight-pointed Maltese cross. Each reflects a history of saints, kingdoms and alliances.

Some crosses are symbols of neutrality and help, like Switzerland's cross, which inspired the Red Cross. Others, like Georgia's five crosses, date back to medieval kingdoms.
