Cross of St. George Flag 3’x 5′

Description

St George’s Cross (or the Cross of St George) is a red cross on a white background. Originally ensign of the Republic of Genoa, successively used by crusaders and adopted by England, it became associated with Saint George, the “warrior saint” often depicted as a crusader, from the late Middle Ages.

The cross has appeared on many flags, emblems, standards, and coats of arms, such as that of the Swabian League in the pre-Reformation Holy Roman Empire and it was introduced as the emblem of several countries and cities which have, or had, St George as a patron saint, notably the Republic of Genoa, the Duchy of Milan, the Kingdom of England, and Georgia in the Caucasus.
