Georgia Flag for Indoor & Outdoor Use

The Distinctive Five Cross Flag of Georgia

Display the national symbol of Georgia with a durable flag suitable for homes, gardens, balconies, schools, cultural organisations, sporting events and national celebrations. Made from 115 g/m² polyester, this Georgian flag combines a vivid red and white print with reinforced construction for indoor and outdoor use.

Also known as the Five Cross Flag, the design features a large red cross extending to all four sides of a white field. Four smaller red Bolnisi crosses are positioned in the surrounding quarters, creating one of the most recognisable national flags of the Caucasus.

A Modern Flag with Medieval Georgian Roots

The five-cross design has strong links with Georgia’s medieval heritage. Red crosses on a white field appear in historical banners and maps associated with the medieval Kingdom of Georgia. A 14th-century map by Domenico and Francesco Pizzigano shows a similar cross design connected with Tbilisi.

After Georgia regained independence from the Soviet Union, the country initially restored the dark red, black and white flag used by the Democratic Republic of Georgia between 1918 and 1921. The historic five-cross design later gained renewed popularity during the Georgian national revival.

The present flag was adopted by the Georgian Parliament on 14 January 2004 and formally confirmed by presidential decree later that month. Georgia now celebrates National Flag Day every year on 14 January.

What Do the Five Crosses Represent?

The large central cross and four smaller Bolnisi crosses reflect Georgia’s historic Christian and heraldic traditions. The five crosses are commonly interpreted as representing Christ and the Four Evangelists. Another interpretation connects them with the Five Holy Wounds.

Because these meanings are traditional interpretations rather than a single official explanation, the design is best understood as a symbol of Georgia’s history, faith and national continuity.
