Nordic Cross
The term "Nordic Cross" refers to a design commonly found in the flags of Nordic countries, characterized by a cross that extends to the edges of the flag. This design symbolizes Christianity and has historical roots in the Viking Age. The colors and proportions vary among the flags of countries like Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland.
Each Nordic Cross flag features a unique color scheme, often incorporating blue, red, and white. The cross is typically offset to the left, known as a hoist, which distinguishes it from other cross designs. This design reflects the shared cultural and historical ties among the Nordic nations.
