Luther's Flag

First there is a black cross set in a heart of natural color to remind me that faith in the Crucified One saves us . . . this heart is mounted in the center of a white rose to show that faith brings joy, comfort, and peace . . . The rose is set in a sky-colored field to show that such joy of the spirit and faith is the beginning of the heavenly joy to come, present already in our joy now and embraced by hope, buy not yet made manifest.

Martin Luther
