Flag of Lorraine France
The Flag of Lorraine, also known as the Lorraine Cross or Saint Andrew's Cross, is a historical emblem associated with the Duchy of Lorraine and modern-day Lorraine region in France. The flag features four equal quadrants, each in one of the four cardinal directions: red (north), white (south), red (east), and white (west). This distinctive color pattern resembles a cross, hence its alternative names. It is significant that the flag does not represent any current political entity within France but has historical importance as a symbol of the Lorraine region. The design's origins date back to at least the 12th century when it was used by the Dukes of Lorraine. Today, the Flag of Lorraine serves as an emblem for Lorraine pride and nostalgia among its people.
