[QUOTE="Kalevalatar, post: 75282219, member: 116770"] The "WASP" Nordic Cross flag actually predates the Protestant Reformation and goes back to the Crusades and the flags of the Teutonic Knights and the Kalmar Union. And, of course, the Nordic countries aren't "Anglo-Saxon" so there's that too. Instead of dragons, the Scandinavian royal banners and Nordic coat of arms and state flags have lions. [ATTACH=full]283230[/ATTACH] Flag of the President of Finland Finland's "white flag with an upright blue cross" came about by an order from the Russian Orthodox Czar Alexander II. The original red/yellow "Lion Flag" was to defy the Czar's oppression and to assert Finnish national identity. The golden lion itself would appear to be a pagan/Viking Age holdover of Swedish origin. This is another contemporary (1906) version of my avatar [ATTACH=full]283234[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
