The Maltese cross, long associated with bravery and service, stands as a powerful emblem worn by firefighters across the world. It represents their unwavering commitment to protect life and property – even at the risk of their own lives. This sacred symbol traces its origins to the Order of the Knights of Malta, a Catholic military order that defended the Christian faith and tended to the sick and wounded during the Crusades.
The eight points of the Maltese cross are not ornamental – they stand for the eight core virtues upheld by the knights, and now by those who serve in harm’s way, including Loyalty, Piety, Honesty, Courage, Honor and Glory, Contempt for Death, Solidarity with the Poor and Sick, and Respect for the Church.
By wearing the Maltese cross, today’s firefighters carry forward a legacy of selfless service, courage under fire, and faith in a cause greater than themselves. Our firefighters are some of our most important local heroes. Help us celebrate these local heroes – they deserve our praise and admiration.
