Maltese Cross of Fire Fighters
In every thing we have in this modern time, there is always an aborigine. Even in anything we have or use this time, there is a legend behind or let say, a story which covers its total beau and existence. Even with our current times and for those things surrounds us there will always be a cause. In relation to the fire fighter’s, they have their own aborigine of all things or equipment they are using.
One of those things they are using or wearing now is the Maltese cross, which is having a clear, legendary and very inspiring story. Historically speaking, this is very legendary symbol, which is now considered as one of the vital things or tools being worn religiously and professionally with those other fields. What is Maltese cross anyway? And how is it that legendary and considered so valuable? For that, let me enumerate few points or fact regarding this symbol:
- It is known as the Amalfi cross, which is identified as the symbol of the order of the Christian warriors known as Knights of Malta.
- Its eight points represent the loyalty, piety, generosity, bravery, glory and honor contempt of death, helpfulness towards the poor and the sick as well as respect for the church.
With that symbolism it has, firefighters will really do their duties with full dedication and full hearted to give good service to the fellowmen. There are even lots of testimonies that would really inspire all of us to do the same, which is to give service rather than to receive service from others.
Like other profession, this Maltese cross is not just a logo or a sign, but to be the actualized unconditional service by our fire fighters to everybody. This one is could also be consider as one of the vital component of their duty wears, as those other professions do. If doctors have the stethoscope, teachers have the chalk and erasers, traffic aids have the whistles, and police have the revolvers; fire fighter could have this one too, the Maltese logo or very most thing needed on field. As what I’ve said, this is not just a logo, but it is already part of how they do, serve and help people while on duty. It is what reminds them of how they work, what they work for and to whom they should work to.
As for the record, as those every representation of each point edge shows, there is a corresponding story we could share with all of you, just to prove and to show the world, how heroism our fire fighters are serving for. We will have those for all of you to read sublimely and to reflect the soonest!
