		The Constitution provides that the National Flag of Malta consists of two equal vertical stripes, white in the hoist and red in the fly, with a representation of the George Cross, edged with red, in the canton of the white stripe; the breadth of the flag is one and a half times its height.
		The National Flag should be at the centre and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags are grouped and displayed from flagstaffs.
		Foreign Ambassadors accredited to Malta, to organisations based in Malta or to conferences being held in Malta, shall normally fly their flags from the left side of the car.

		Like a giant pin-cushion, it is a monument of folk art with many hand-carved crosses; some miniature, others five metres-high; some intricate and elaborate, others crude and simple; most anonymous, and one large wooden sculpture of Christ crucified, a gift from the Pope.

		This is a castillian reconquista order, whose cross (bleu, a cross fleury gueules, outlined in gold and hollow of the field) can be found on some portuguese family coats of arms.
