Asturias’ flag appears below. The flag has its origin in a battle against the Moors in 722, a victory that led the way to the expulsion of the Moors from this area in Spain. A flag with the Victory Cross (i.e. the one on the flag below) was carried into that battle.
You will also note the Greek Alpha and Omega hanging from the cross. These are references to this passage in the Book of Revelations: “I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Asturias is located on the northern coast of Spain. It is not generally thought of as a Celic area but it does have a rich Celtic heritage.
