What does the flag of Georgia mean?
Georgia flies the Five-Cross Flag: a large red cross on white touching all four edges, with four small bolnur-katskhuri crosses, also called Georgian or grapevine crosses, in the corners. The five crosses are sometimes read as the Five Holy Wounds of Christ, and sometimes as Christ together with the Four Evangelists. The design is not new; it was a banner of the medieval Kingdom of Georgia, fell out of use for centuries, was revived during the Georgian national revival of the late 20th century and was officially reinstated as the national flag in 2004.
