Which country was first to bear the design of the Nordic cross on its flag?
Denmark
Sweden
Norway
Finland
The cross design represents Christianity, and the characteristic shift of the center to the hoist side is early modern, first described the Danish civil ensign for merchant ships. Later, all of the Nordic countries except Greenland have adopted the Danish design. Some of the subdivisions of these countries used this as inspiration for their own flags as well.
