The symbol most associated with St. Florian is the Maltese Cross, commonly known as St. Florian's Cross.
It is used the world over as an insignia for fire departments and firefighters, since St. Florian is their patron saint. The cross is made up of four V-shaped arms, giving it eight points on the outside edge.
Crosses of this design have been used since around the First Crusade in 1096. The design is said to symbolize the eight points of courage: loyalty, piety, bravery, frankness, glory and honor, no fear of death, compassion toward the sick and poor, and respect for the church.
