In Nordic countries, the sideways cross is referred to as the Nordic Cross, popularly found on the flags of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, originating in Denmark. Legend says that the flag was given to Denmark in 1219. During the battle of Lyndanisse, it was rumored that the flag fell from the sky. Many believe that the flag was a sign from God in favor of the Danish forces, who later won the battle.
