Description of the flag

St Saviour (Guern�siais: Saint Sauveux; French: Saint-Sauveur) is one of the ten parishes of Guernsey.

The flag is blue and covered with the coat of arms in the center. The crest is a silver shield with a crown of thorns and three nails. The Parish church, St Sauveur de L'�pine, was dedicated to Jesus Christ. Hence, the crown and nails of the crucifixion though '�pine' means thorn and may suggest a relic of the crown of thorns.
