Nordic flags
Nordic Cross Flag, Nordic Cross, Scandinavian Cross is a pattern of flags usually associated with the flags of the Scandinavian countries of which it originated. All the Nordic countries have adopted such flags. The cross design symbolises Christianity and is depicted extending to the edges of the flag with the vertical part of the cross shifted to the hoist side as opposed to flags where the cross is centred on the flag (known as a Greek cross).
English: Nordic cross flags in England and Scotland are used to allude to a Norse heritage; some, like the flags of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Caithness, Orkney and Shetland, have some official recognition.
