Not surprising given that the provincial flag is an inverse St. Andrew’s Cross, with a Scottish Lion in the middle. Many Nova Scotians can trace their ancestry back to waves of Scottish settlers who arrived in the 18th & 19th centuries.
Some of the saltire shaped inscriptions looked to me like the flowers of the dogwood tree - which have a special place is Norse mythology, and were also subsequently subverted by Christianity.
I am looking at it and wondering if it actually has to do with spears crossing. It could also have something to do with the 4 directions, and may have even had many meanings depending on the context. But when I look at it, it reminds me most of spears crossing.
So Pagans were willing to listen to a Christian saint about whom they had probably never heard? Sound much like Constantine’s conversion and subsequent victories and proclaiming of Christianity as the new religion of Rome.
My understanding is that this cross also appears in the natural phenomenon of "prisoner's cinema", which would make it a very primordial symbol... It's also very similar to Brigid's cross, another pre-Christian symbol associated with a saint.
If I'm thinking of the same "saint", it was a former water goddess in Ireland. This is another example of the Catholic church mixing in Paganism with "Christianity". Some would say it's one cult synchronizing with another.
I am simple. I see a video on the saltire flag, I click. The Southern Army used a battle flag that also had a diagonal cross. It’s just a really good symbol for a flag, I suppose.
Yes, that’s been pointed out before. Two things though. Scots-Irish* not Scotch-Irish. Scotch is a drink, not a people. There also weren’t as many Irish here as you’d think. At least, not originally. And not so much in North and South Carolina and Georgia, which were inhabited mostly by English and Scots colonists. The Irish came in more in the late 1700s and throughout the 1800s, by which point Southern culture had already solidified. Lots of Irish ended up in Tennessee and Kentucky. Just throwing that out for historical context.
@@lowlandnobleman6746 Yes, the Black Irish came along later, after the famine. The original, and most relevant at the time of the Civil War, settlers were Scots-Irish.

Thanks for covering this. I’ve known that the x-shaped cross in Scotland is much more ancient than St. Andrew for some time now. It represents the sun originally. It comes from our Neolithic farming ancestors. And our Celtic ancestors continued on the Neolithic tradition of celebrating at the midpoints between the four solar events, both solstices and equinoxes.
You should also check out the Yorkshire chalk drums, the inside architecture of Newgrange in Ireland, and the Birds Eye view of Callanais standing stones in Scotland. The cross is ancient in our land.
Fabulous content as usual, Kevin. I really enjoyed the history and the various similar symbols used for thousands of years. Just one point, though, the British flag is called the Union Flag and it's only called Union Jack when it's flown from a ship. Although not even many of us Brits know that either, lol. :)
Interesting documentary. Thank you. Remember too, the flag of St Alban of Mercia and its very close similarity to the Scottish Saltire Flag. And note too the similarity between the various “Celtic” language names for Scotland, such as “Alba” + “Alban”, with “St Alban”, coincidence ???!!! Furthermore note the flag of Tenerife which is identical to the Scottish Saltire Flag.
Hexham, no emphasis on the ham, just one word. Must be difficult with all the names but I was born there so thought I would point it out for future info. Thanks for your work.

You are really stretching with the axe shown at 14:40. That is quite obviously not a symbolic representation of a st.Andrews cross, but an imitation of the leather or tendon strips used to bind an axe head to a shaft, as you show in your own video at 14:20!
Kevin as I listened two thoughts popped in my head. Why blue and white? And when the Saltire and the Christian cross are fixed together it forms the 8 points of the Compass Rose. Given the place was islands it makes sense Sea Faring groups like the Norse or Phoenicians might have a say in this. Just the same wouldn't that be a double cross? Seems it suggest you could be intentionally skewed 45 degrees. Not sure why but it just stood out. Very nice post, thanks for your hard work.
Perhaps it's blue and white because we are related to the ancient Israelites. Both flags are blue and white. The Declaration of Arbroath says that we are descendants of the Tribes of Israel.
@padillas4357 I am Clan Ranald and I was thinking the same but was not sure. My folks being from Skye made me think blue sky and clouds as another thought. Thanks for the insight
No wonder it was founded by Scots driven out by the English during the Highland clearances..they speak galllic and play the pipes very proud off their Scots roots there is a strong connection between alll off Canada and Scotland my brother is an immigrant from Scotland and before that our aunt and uncle had emigrated in the early 50s ..I have never been roo nova sctia ..yet only ontario 6 times bur the Canadians I. Et I that pro in e lo ed the Scots znd remember the name nova Scotland means. Ew Scotland New Scotland the two countries are very close thankfully I am Scots.
The English didn't drive the Scots out during the clearances - it was the clan chieftains who now saw themselves as landed gentry not the fathers of the clans.
As you mention, the whole St Andrew thing sounds like a very convenient fabrication tacked on to an existing cultural tradition. Presumably this would make an attempt to take over a tribe, small kingdom, etc easier than demanding a complete change. I am very cynical about accepting anything more about the reality of the events described than some slight coincidental feature. Someone commented on its similarity to the Constantine conversion story.
Spot on as far as you went. In point of fact, the symbol VERY likely goes all the way back to the moment God caused Jacob to "cross his arms/hands to bequeath the birthright blessings to Ephraim and Manassa, marking them and their descendants with the sign, no doubt making it onto their ensigns, standards, banners, flags, and coats of arms. Even today both nations are marked with the cross of Christianity. Thank you for your work and time.
The Crest of Clan Stewart of Appin and the Tribe of Menasseh are both a Unicorn. The Declaration of Arbroath says that we are descendants of the Tribes of Israel.
@@padillas4357 Correct. Most tribes had more than one sign though. And as they overflowed out of the isles, they took them along. Manassa also had the eagle clutching a bundle of arrows. In appearance, like the great seal of the United States.
@chriscarey1478 Yes. Other symbols can be found in the Bible, too. Joseph, which Menasseh is from, is an Olive Plant. Additional symbols for Menasseh are a Bull and Ox. The symbol of a bundle of arrows is also shared with their brother Tribe, Ephraim. However, Ephraim is a Large Bundle, as they are prophesied to be the larger of the 2 offshoot Tribes.
It’s amazing how some of those crosses on the axes line up perfectly with the sinew used to affix the head to the haft. This content has no credibility because many of the images are coincidental - would love to know how much there is to this though, so good job on that part.
I like that later people felt that a divine revelation- complete with gods face/light shining down upon the favored men and ending with a prophecy fulfilled- needed more embellishment to be properly awesome.
🏴 From what I remember, the Declaration of Arbroath says that we (I'm a descendant of Clan Appin of Stewart) are descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel. The land was originally called Alba, and the people were called Ibre (Hebrew). The flags of Scotland and Israel are both colored blue and white. The Picts were said to paint them selves blue with white. The Crest for my Clan is a Unicorn, same for the Tribe of Menasseh. The Saltire looks similar to the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet, Aleph.
That is a load of nonsense. The Scots are predominantly of Indo-European ancestry with the second-largest contributor being Neolithic farmers. Alba likely means white and an Indo-European word in origin, not Semitic. That name also likely _predates_ the Hebrew language, and the Neolithic farmers migrating there predates it by millennia.
@@CreepyTrendMan yes, they did migrate through Scythia on their way to what is now known as Scotland. This is part of what is said in the Declaration about the travel from Northern Israel.
@nevisysbryd7450 Not according to the Declaration itself. It tells of the migration from Northern Israel, through Scythia and Spain, on their way to Scotland. Also, the Hebrew language is old enough to have an influence on Egyptian. So, it predates Endo-Eurpian languages.
@@padillas4357 The declaration is false. It was a legendary fiction closer to propaganda than a sound, factual historical account. The earliest verifiable date for written _Proto-Hebrew_ is ~1000-1200 BC and both of the major finds suggesting it to be that old are contested by most professionals and scholars on the subject. While a vaguely Hebrew-Canaanite language may extend further, we have no real evidence of it, and no evidence of any written form of the language until then (and only with certainty much later). Proto-Indo-European was approximately 2500-4500 BC, which pushes it, at minimum, over a millennium earlier.

I'm a former pagan, and Christ's crucifixion and resurrection wiped away and replaced the old covenant that our pagan European ancestors had with the lower gods/fallen ones and non-human/non-angelic yet not demonic faerie people. From 33 ad on we were/are to follow Him. St. Patrick, St. Columba, St. Barnabas, St. David, St. Cuthbert, St. Aiden, St. Ita, St. Brendan, St. Alban pray for us! ☦️🇺🇸🏴🇮🇪🏴🇮🇲⚫🏴🇩🇪☦️
Firstly - the 'Celts' are a myth, a group that never existed, but whose title has been applied to an ever extending group of disparate yet contemporoary peoples with varying degrees of similtude - The 'Celts' of Britain were the Bythons, latterly the British, the 'Celts' of Ireland were the Gaels, and the 'Celts' of Scotland and the isles were , Pictti and Scoti, again ..not Celts, all made up by Victorian scholars and the name has stuck, its akin to 'Hindu' or 'Semite', loose terms appied to peoples that dont actually ascribe to the moniker, in nature or in name. Secondly, the Europe out of the med. and West/North into the Atlantisphere from the levant and Middle East is another falsity, it is becoming more and more evidentually apparent, not just hearsay, that teh Civilisation of Europe and the Med. region started in the North and far West, then headed south and into the Med. much much later from there..the civilising force culture and peopleing came from the North West and Headed South East..not vice vers as we have been falsely lead to belive for the last 1000 years. - one point of proof of this , the l;atest discovery in S.Henge of a Orcadian stone being the centrpoint of the Henge itself, honouring the civilising centre of Orkney above that of South Britain. there are too many mroe to mention, but thsi is merely the latest in an ever lengthening chain of 'proofs' restroring the real history from the fanciful wishfullfilling of the Ox-bridge 'scholars' from 18-20C determined to pervert for whatever reason the history of the British isles. Thirdly, the 'God' St.Andrew replaced was INDRA, the Vedic King of the Gods, Lord of the Heavens and in charge of storms, thunder and lightning, to whom all harvests were offered at the end of each summer, whom was honoured along with Moon and Sun, Earth and Air etc. as one of the main deities of the Pantheon of Demi Gods, all working as the 'angels' under the One True Supreme God.
Nah, the creators of the flag literally point to St. Andrew. Having an issue with the St Andrew’s cross and with its connection to Scotland is a different matter altogether.
You go way off into some bullshit with this video my dude. There are countless eastern icons from Greece and Romania and other places that prove that the X shaped cross for Saint Andrew does not originate in Scotland..
God was not even thought of. Pics were Celtic so was the Scot’s we produced spells and What is Samhain in Scotland? Samhain (/ˈsɑːwɪn/ SAH-win, /ˈsaʊɪn/ SOW-in, Irish: [ˈsˠəunʲ], Scottish Gaelic: [ˈs̪ãũ. ɪɲ]), Sauin ( Manx: [ˈsoːɪnʲ]) or Oíche Shamhna (/ˈiːhə ˈhaʊnə/ EE-hə HOW-nə) is a Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or "darker half" of the year.

Secondly, the Europe out of the med. and West/North into the Atlantisphere from the levant and Middle East is another falsity, it is becoming more and more evidentually apparent, not just hearsay, that teh Civilisation of Europe and the Med. region started in the North and far West, then headed south and into the Med. much much later from there..the civilising force culture and peopleing came from the North West and Headed South East..not vice vers as we have been falsely lead to belive for the last 1000 years. - one point of proof of this , the l;atest discovery in S.Henge of a Orcadian stone being the centrpoint of the Henge itself, honouring the civilising centre of Orkney above that of South Britain. there are too many mroe to mention, but thsi is merely the latest in an ever lengthening chain of 'proofs' restroring the real history from the fanciful wishfullfilling of the Ox-bridge 'scholars' from 18-20C determined to pervert for whatever reason the history of the British isles.
Thirdly, the 'God' St.Andrew replaced was INDRA, the Vedic King of the Gods, Lord of the Heavens and in charge of storms, thunder and lightning, to whom all harvests were offered at the end of each summer, whom was honoured along with Moon and Sun, Earth and Air etc. as one of the main deities of the Pantheon of Demi Gods, all working as the 'angels' under the One True Supreme God.
Nah, the creators of the flag literally point to St. Andrew. Having an issue with the St Andrew’s cross and with its connection to Scotland is a different matter altogether.
Yes it is about St. Andrew but the x-shaped cross is verrrry ancient in Scotland .
@@xtramail4909 sure, that’s not the argument he’s making. The flag is a st Andrew’s cross.
@@thomasglasscock2570 where do you think crosses and crucifixion comes from?
@@xtramail4909 you missed the point
You go way off into some bullshit with this video my dude. There are countless eastern icons from Greece and Romania and other places that prove that the X shaped cross for Saint Andrew does not originate in Scotland..
What is the oldest depiction you're thinking off?
He did not say that the symbol was uniquely Scottish, but of ancient Indo-European origins
So in layman’s terms what you mean without the made up religion is some guy made a flag.
AND THE POINT IS ???????????????????????? SOUNDS MORE PAGAN THAN CHRISTIAN .......
SUCH LOVELY STORIES ...... NOT. WAR, WAR AND MORE WAR. NOT GOOD.
Sorry that the facts of history don't agree with your delicate sensibilities. Maybe watch a different channel?
God was not even thought of. Pics were Celtic so was the Scot’s we produced spells and What is Samhain in Scotland?
Samhain (/ˈsɑːwɪn/ SAH-win, /ˈsaʊɪn/ SOW-in, Irish: [ˈsˠəunʲ], Scottish Gaelic: [ˈs̪ãũ. ɪɲ]), Sauin ( Manx: [ˈsoːɪnʲ]) or Oíche Shamhna (/ˈiːhə ˈhaʊnə/ EE-hə HOW-nə) is a Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or "darker half" of the year.
