The Africa Mercy sails under the Maltese flag. Well, not the official flag of Malta (pic 1), but the Civil Ensign of Malta - the one with the Maltese Cross (pic 2). An interesting thing is that this 8-pointed cross represents the 8 beatitudes described in Matt 5 - "Blessed are those who are poor... Blessed are those who mourn... Blessed are those who are humble...++". Dag
Pic 1 - the official flag
Pic 2 - the civil ensign
