DescriptionFlag of the Cretan 1878 Insurrection.png
English: The design of the flag above is a series of 5 stripes, the blue ones only stretching to 4/5 of the flag. The banner contains the words "Itan Iepitai" on the second white stripe, followed by a likely date of the rebellion, August 16, on the third white stripe. On the first two stripes, on the extreme right corner, a Greek cross is displayed. Source: http://www.nhmuseum.gr/en/fakelos-syllogon/antikeimena/14260_en/
