The Maltese cross consists of a white cross on a red background. And precisely the colors are different on this cross. But they are not random. These are the colors used on the fishing boats in Malta. A blue, a terracotta red and a yellow interspersed with streaks of white and green. All natural colors reminiscent of the land, the sea, the sun and the green fields. In addition to the colors, there are two eyes. These are also on the fishing boats and are the Eye of Osiris, protecting against evil spirits.
