The cross is a simplified version of the scene of the crucifixion of Jesus, which was often placed in the upper left corner of the banner. The arms were formally described and adopted in 1815, but the size of the cross was not described. This has resulted in images with very small to very large crosses, until, in 1963, the size of the cross was finally determined. | The cross is a simplified version of the scene of the crucifixion of Jesus, which was often placed in the upper left corner of the banner.
