From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

The flag of Moscow, the capital of Russia, is a dark red banner of arms charged as the arms of the city in the centre. It displays Saint George wearing armor and a blue cape with a golden lance in his right hand riding on a silver horse. He is shown stabbing a zilant with a lance. The legend in which the flag came from originated in Jacobus de Voragine's Golden Legend.
