This is our Maltese Cross badge. The Maltese cross as defined by the constitution of the Order of St. John remains the symbol of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, of the Order of Saint John and its allied orders, of the Venerable Order of Saint John, and of their various service organisations. Numerous other modern orders of merit have used the eight-pointed cross.
The eight points of the eight-pointed cross have been given a number of symbolic interpretations, such as representing the eight Languages of the Knights Hospitaller (Auvergne, Provence, France, Aragon, Castille and Portugal, Italy, Germany, and the British Isles) or alternatively the "eight obligations or aspirations" of the knights
These are made from high quality materials, it's an embroidered souvenir that can be moved onto whatever bag or pack you choose!
You may choose the hook and loop version or the irons on one. Would recommend ironing patch to place and then sew onto the item in question to make it much stronger.
