      It is officially the state flag of the Sovereign Order of Malta (SOM), but in Malta it is flown on feast days, such as today which is Easter. The Maltese fly it not for its association to the SOM but to commemorate catholic feasts and holy days.

      Today is Easter Sunday. L-Irxoxt, the statue of the Risen Christ holds that flag symbolising victory over death. Therefore on Maltese houses you will also see that flag.

      Easter Victory flag, the flag depicts jesus as victorious over death. The flag has also traditionally been utilized by the Hospitaliers.

      It’s called “Tar-Reliġjon” – belonging to The Religion. That’s the way the Maltese and the Knights used to colloquially refer to the Order of St. John the Baptist, i.e. The Hospitaller Order. Traditionally it’s flown by enthusiasts on all high catholic feast days. It was also the flag associated with Malta for the first few decades of British rule.

      The Danish cross is closer to the far left of the rectangular flag. Also interesting that you didn’t know about other flags similar to your national flag 😀 I am Turkish 🇹🇷, and I think the most similar flag to ours is Tunisian 🇹🇳, but maybe it’s just about how the flag symbol is conceived differently in Denmark than in Turkey. Because there are more Turkish flags in the Turkish skyline than there are cranes in Malta 🏗️😀 People in Turkey are quite patriotic, so maybe that’s why. P.S. I love Danish people and their high-end fashion brands that are not well known in Southern Europe.
