Episode 1: The History of the Maltese Cross

Fire Department University (FDU)

In this inaugural relaunch podcast episode I give a brief history of the Maltese Cross and how it has become the symbol of the fire service. This episode goes into detail about the Knights of Malta and how they were established, and their symbol that would come to be known as the Maltese Cross. Aside from the history of the Maltese Cross, the history of Saint Florian's Cross is also talked about. Enjoy!
