Flag of Georgia

🎨 What the flag means

Georgia's flag is white with a big red cross and a small red cross in each corner, so it is often called the "Five-Cross Flag". It comes from a banner of the old Kingdom of Georgia. There is no official meaning, but some people say the crosses stand for Jesus and the four Gospel writers.
