Nordic Cross Flag, Nordic Cross, Scandinavian Cross is a pattern of flags usually associated with the Flag s of the Scandinavia n 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 ). The first flag with this design was the Danish Dannebrog ; thereafter, Sweden , Norway , Finland , Iceland , and some of their subdivisions used this as inspiration for their own flags. The Norwegian flag was the first Nordic cross flag with three colours. Though the flags share this pattern, they have individual histories and symbolism. Some of the flags in this list do not have official status. Also, note that Flag Proportions may vary between the different flags and sometimes do even between different versions of the same flag.
