Very cool.

Tell me, cuprum, I looked at on of your links and found a curious Siberian flag with a Christian cross over a crecent moon. Looked like quite a melange. I tried to run the website through babelfish (since I don't read Russian) but turned out mostly gobbledigook. Could you explain that flag?

This symbol?

The Crescent with ancient timeses was shown by state sign Byzantine, and only after 1453, when Konstantinopol was will take the turk, this christian symbol became the official allegory Osman empires. The tsarist power symbolized In orthodox Byzantine crescent.Means that temple this belongs to Reign all reigning and Gentlemen all dominating.
Is it Often used in orthodox symbology in such combination with cross. To islam relations has not.

Thanks for sharing your insights!

Spassiba, Cuprum.

I have often wondered about the combination of symbols, as it occurs frequently in Polish Seventeenth Century flags. What makes it (still) a mystery is that the Poles were Catholic and not Orthodox.

As well, westerners think that the 6-pointed star is a Jewish symbol. Can you explain how it fits in with Christian symbols in the flag?

Again, the 6-pointed star is frequently featured on Polish flags in the 1600's.

In east regions of Poland even now 1000000 orthodox believers. In a XVII-th century and some Polish magnates were orthodox, besides, the structure of Poland included orthodox Ukraine. So use of orthodox symbolics in Poland is quite pertinent.
 
The six-final star is used in Orthodoxy on a level with eight-final, as an image of the Bethlehem star, a symbol Presvjatoj of the Virgin, a sign on wisdom of God and perfection of Its creations, unities of the sky and the earth.
This symbol is known since antiquated times when it expressed hope of people of occurrence of the Savior.

Thanks again. That was very helpful.

Technically they are "Uniate" or "Eastern Catholic". They acknowledge the Pope, and so they are often lumped with the Catholics, which tends to keep them from view from us in the West. But they keep to Orthodox liturgy and practices -- their clergy marry, for example. So they are Orthodox in most senses.

If you drive through east Poland you will often see two churches beside each other in the towns -- one a Roman Catholic and the other the Orthodox "Catholic".

Very big in the Ukraine too:

No mark, they are not - yo uare mixing so called Greko-Catholic with Russian Orthodox ( "Prawoslawni" ). Cuprum most likely meant the latter.

According to an old Ukrainian-Canadian girlfriend I had back in the '80's, there are still emigre families from L'vov who feud over the Orthodox-Catholic schism to this day.
