The central design element of the "Five Cross" flag is the St. George Cross in
the middle of it. The St. George Cross is still used as the national flag of
England. St George is the patron saint of Georgia. According to Georgian scholar
Giorgi Gabeskiria, the four small crosses were probably added during the reign
of Giorgi V who drove out the Mongols. Around that era, the new flag design was
adopted as a variation of the Jerusalem cross, a symbol used by crusaders in the
Holy Land, which also used a central cross with four smaller "crosslets" in its
four corners. The crosses are said to have represented the five Holy Wounds of
Christ.
