The Maltese cross is believed to have originated during the Byzantine era. The symbol was adopted by Malta during the Middle Ages and worn in battle to distinguish each other from the enemy.

The Maltese cross consists of four V-shaped patterns converging at the vertex, resulting in a unique 8-pointed cross. Each of the 8 points represents the virtues of the Maltese Knights.
