Origin:
To know the origin of this flag, we must go back in 1603, when King James VI of Scotland became James I of England. To symbolize this "Union of the Crowns", the king decides to order a new flag to symbolize his dual reign over Scotland and England.
James I then decided to order a first flag that merged the red cross of Saint George representing England and the white saltire on a blue background of Saint Andrew representing Scotland. Later, the cross of Saint Patrick (a red long necklace on a white background) was added to represent Ireland.
Officially the Union Flag, also known as Union Jack, the flag of the United Kingdom was approved in 1802 to represent the union of the three crowns, being a fusion between the flag of England or the cross of Saint George, the flag of Scotland or St. Andrew’s Cross and the ancient flag of Ireland or St. Patrick’s Cross.
Story:
To know the origin of this flag, we must go back in 1603, when King James VI of Scotland became James I of England. To symbolize this "Union of the Crowns", the king decides to order a new flag to symbolize his dual reign over Scotland and England which are still two separate countries with their own parliaments and modes of operation.
James I then decided to order a first flag that merged the red cross of Saint George representing England and the white saltire on a blue background of Saint Andrew representing Scotland. This flag was originally to be used as a maritime flag.
Later in 1649, during the Republic (Commonwealth) period of Oliver Cromwell, the flag underwent several modifications to reflect the abolition of the monarchy.
In 1707, England and Scotland merged. They then became the United Kingdom of Great Britain, and the flag created in 1606 that was to be called "Union Jack" became their official flag.
On January 1, 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland became linked. To represent Ireland, the cross of Saint Patrick (a red necklace on a white background) is added to the flag.
To clarify, the flag must be hoisted with the widest white diagonal band upwards near the mast.
Meaning:
"Three saints and three ancient legends
The crosses refer to a knight, a martyr and a slave, representing the English, the Scots and the Irish respectively.
St. George’s Cross: A red Greek cross on a white background that was adopted by King Edward III. It pays tribute to the patron saint of knights. Legend has it that George, a Roman soldier, struck down a dragon to save a city, becoming the symbol of English courage.
Saint Andrew’s Cross: this white cross in the shape of an "X" on a blue background has its origins in its use, according to an ancient tradition, during the crucifixion of the apostle of the same name. Its heraldic significance is undefeated leader in combat.
St. Patrick’s Cross: This is a red version on a white background of the one from St. Andrew. It symbolizes the patron saint of Ireland. In heraldic terms, it can mean silver blazon, with a yellow sash.
