2. Why the flag called ST.Andrews (Scotland), ST.George (England), ST.Patrick (Ireland)
ST.Andrews (Scotland) :




Saint Andrews is the Patron Saint of Scotland, and ST. Andrew’s day is celebrated by Scouts around the world on the 30th November. The flag of Scotland is the cross of ST.Andrews, and this is widely displayed as a symbol of national identity.
The “Order of Saint Andrews“ or the “Most Ancient Order of the Thistle” is an order of Knighthood which is restricted to the King or Queen and sixteen others. It was establish by James VII of Scotland in 1687. Very little is really known about ST.Andrews himself. He was thought to have been a fisherman in Galilee (now part of Israel), along with his elder brother Simon Peter (Saint Peter).
ST.Andrews is said to have been responsible for spreading the tenets of the Christian religion though Asia Minor and Greece. Tradition suggest that ST.Andrews was put to death by the Romans in Patras, Southern Greece by being pinned to a cross (craucified). The diagonal shape of this cross is said to be the basis for the Cross of ST.Andrews which appears on the Scotish Flag.

ST.George (England) :



ST.George is a red cross on a white background used as a reference symbolic to Saint George. ST.George has been adopted on the coat of arms and flag of several countries and cities which have ST.George as a patron saint. ST.George was a brave Roman soldier who protested against the Romans torture of Christian and died for his beliefs. The popularity of ST.George in England stems from the time of the early crusades when it is said that the Normans saw him in a vision and were victorious. One of the best known stories about Saint George is his fight with a dragon. But it is highly unlikely that he ever fought a dragon, and even more unlikely that he ever actually visited England. Despite this, ST.George is known throughout the world as a dragon slaying patron saint of England. ST.George is always depicted as a knight carrying a shield with a red cross (or a banner with a red across), generally sitting upon a horse and always killing a dragon.

ST.Patrick (Ireland) :

In heraldic language , it may be blazoned Argent, saltire gules. Saint Patricks flag is a flag composed of Saint Patricks saltire. The antiquity of the association with Ireland and Saint Patrick has been questioned. The cross was used in the regalia of the order of Saint Patricks, established in 1783 as the premier chivalric oreder of the Kingdom of Ireland, and later in the arms and flags of a number institutions. After the 1800 Act of union join Ireland with a Kingdom of Great Britain, the saltire was added to the British flag still used by the United Kingdom. Saint Patricks cross is rejected by many Irish nationalist as a British invention. There is no universally accepted flag for the island of Ireland.


3. Under whose government Ireland when they united with England
Ireland united with England when under government George III in 1801.
The Republic of Irelands Flag is made of three equal-sized rectangles of orange, white, and green. This type of flag is called a tricolour. The green colour on the flag represents the native people of Ireland (most of them are Roman Catholic) yhe orange colour represents the British supporters of William of Orange who settled in Northern Ireland in the 17th century (most of them are Protestan). The white in the center of the flag represents peace between these two groups of people. The flag was adopted in 1919 by the Irish Republic during its war independence, and subsequently by the Irish Free State (1922-1937), later being given constitutional status under the 1937 Contitutions of Ireland. The tricolor is regarded by many nationalist as the national flag of the whole island of Ireland. In relation to the national flag of Ireland, the constitution of Ireland simply states in article 7. in 1921, Ireland was partitioned, with the unionist -dominated north-east becoming Northern Ireland , while later, in 1922, the remainder of Ireland left the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to form the Irish Free State .

Northern Ireland continued to use the British Union Flag and created its own derivation of the flag of Ulster (with a crown on top of a six pointed star) to symbolise the state. Furthermore, for many years the tricolor was effectively banned in Northern Ireland under the Flags and Emblems (Display) Act (Northern Ireland) 1954 which empowered the police to remove any flag that could cause a breach of the peace but specified, rather controversially, that a Union Flag could never have such an effect.

In 1964, the enforcement of this law by the Royal Ulster Constabulary at the behest of Ian Paisley , involving the removal of a single tricolour from the offices of Sinn Féin in Belfast , led to two days of rioting. The tricolour was immediately replaced, highlighting the difficulty of enforcing the law.
