This became the flag of England during the middle ages due to St George being the patron saint of England. Later it became the central cross of the Union Jack when first the cross of St Andrew for Scotland and the cross of St Patrick for Ireland were merged to become the flag for the United Kingdom. Still today the red cross on white is used as a flag of England.<br /><br />At the protestant reformation the cross of St George was associated with the Church of England either as a four square flag or as a white shield with a red cross dividing in in quarters. When the emblem of a diocese was imposed on the upper left quadrant it became the flag of that diocese.<br /><br />When English settlers came to America and formed Amglican parishes the same church was use to represent the Church of England in America. As the colonies became involved with the struggle for independence from England the English flag ceased to be appropriate. At the time of the revolutionary war a group of nine American diocese met in Philadelphia and founded the Protestant Episcopal church in America and developed their own flag, a red cross on a white field with nine small crosses for those original nine diocese are laid in an X on the upper left field. This continues to be the flag of the Episcopal church in the United States. Often this is seen as a shield rather than an rectangular flag. <br /><br />I think that is the significance of St George's cross outside the chyrch in Mary;s photo.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390386422182379201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30988056.post-79492361683523136662010-03-02T23:13:41.321-05:002010-03-02T23:13:41.321-05:00Hello everyone in here, have a great ruby day!
