Flag of Moscow

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.
