The origins of Denmark's flag date back to the 14th
Century. The Danish flag is the oldest known state flag in
the world still in use. The flag is red and contains a white
Nordic Cross. The cross represents Christianity and is
shifted towards the hoist of the flag. The Nordic cross also
associates Denmark with the Nordic countries of Northern
Europe. Denmark was the first country to use this design
then Finland. Iceland, Sweden and Norway followed.
