Flag of the Faroe Islands : ウィキペディア英語版 | Flag of the Faroe Islands
The flag of the Faroe Islands is an offset cross, which represents Christianity; following, as with other Nordic flags, the tradition set by ''Dannebrog''. The flag is called ''Merkið'', which means "the banner" or "the mark". It resembles the flags of neighbouring Norway and Iceland. ==Description and symbolism== The design of the flag incorporates a red Nordic cross, which is offset to the left. The red cross is fimbriated azure and is set on a white field. The flag design closely resembles that of the Norwegian flag, with the fimbriated cross. The flag ratio is usually 5:7. White symbolises the creators of the flag, the foam of the sea and the pure, radiant sky of the Faroe Islands, while the old Faroese blue and red colours are reminiscent of other Scandinavian and Nordic flags; representing the Faroe Islands' bonds with other Nordic countries.〔Smith/Neubecker: Wappen und Flaggen aller Nationen.
