Best Answer

England's flag is the red cross of St George, the patron saint of England.

Because the English Flag is Based on the Genoan Flag
  • The original St. George's flag, a red cross on a white field , was adopted by the Republic of Genoa in 1099, after the first crusade.
  • Then, it was adopted by England and the City of London, in 1190, for use on their ships entering the Mediterranean Sea to benefit from the protection of the Geonoese fleet.
  • The English Monarch paid an annual tribute to the Doge of Genoa for this privilege.
  • Since then, that flag remains as both Genoa's & England's flag.

Because the Patron Saint of England is St GeorgeThe Flag of England White with a Red Cross on it, because the Patron Saint of England is St George England is represented by the flag of St. George
  • England is represented by the flag of St. George. England's flag has a white background with a red cross through it. (To me, it looks it the Red Cross symbol.)
  • The flag consists of 3 heraldic crosses. It was Richard I (Richard The Lion Heart) of England who introduced the Cross of St. George, in 1194 A.D.
  • The reason why it is white with a red cross through it is because that was St. George's emblem.
  • The King's soldiers wore it on their tunics during war so that they didn't kill, or be killed by, their own men.

Colors: Red and White. White background with red cross

The red cross appeared as an emblem of England during the Middle Ages and the Crusades and is one of the earliest known emblems representing England.

The red cross on the white background is the symbol of St George, the patron saint of England.

The Union Flag, the flag of the United Kingdom of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, is a mixture of the flags of England, Scotland and Ireland. The blue is from the white x-shaped cross of St Andrew on a blue background of Scotland.

England's flag (not the British flag) is a red cross on a white background. This flag is the emblem or cross of St. George, the patron saint of England.

The Colours of the English Flag are 'English ' Red and White.The Red is the Red of the martyr on a white linen filed - (as in linen shroud of Christ,) - it is known as the Cross of St George - a Christain Saint and Muslim Prophet - who was associated with England due to the values of courage and selflessness that he portrays. CommentThe flag of England has nothing to do with any Muslim ... What a bizarre suggestion!

Comment

St George was subsequently made a Muslim Prophet much later due to the values he represented. He existed far before the rise of Islam. But Muslims wanted to recognise his value.

Note: St. George is also the patron saint of Palestine and Beirut - demonstrating his importance in the Muslim world.

The English Flag Has a White Background and a Red Cross. It is the flag of saint George. Saint George is the English saint who famously fought a dragon.
