The Maltese Cross design is based on crosses used since the First Crusade.
Both the Order of Saint John and the Venerable Order of St John teach that the eight points of the cross represent the eight Beatitudes.
In Italy this cross is known as the Amalfi Cross and is the cross symbol associated with the Knights Hospitaller (the Knights of Malta).
