Order of Christ Cross

The Order of Christ Cross is the emblem of the historical Order of Christ, (also called Christ's Knights Order), Portugal. It has since become a generic Portuguese emblem, used by the Portuguese Air Force and on the flag of the Autonymous Region of Madeira.

It was also the symbol of the Movimento Nacional-Sindicalista, a fascist group of the early 1930s.
