The Maltese cross or Amalfi cross is identified as the symbol of an order of Christian warriors known as the Knights Hospitaller or Knights of Malta. It was originally the symbol of Amalfi, a small Italian republic of the 11th century. The cross is eight-pointed and has the form of four "V"-shaped arms joined together at their tips, so that each arm has two points. Its design is based on crosses used since the First Crusade. The eight points are said to symbolize the eight points of courage. * Loyalty * Piety * Frankness * Bravery * Glory and honour * Contempt of death * Helpfulness towards the poor and the sick * Respect for the church From the days of the first Crusade, this Cross has been the symbol of the Christian warrior. It was the insignia of the The Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, one of the oldest Christendom orders which took vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Also known as Hospitallers, knights maintained a hospital for pilgrims in Jerusalem and were known for their care of the poor and the sick.
