Wow, you're thinking of it as grass, sand and sea, while I was thinking<br>
of grass, crops (or whins/gorse/broom) and sky!<br>
<br>
Great, a flag that people can debate endlessly :)<br>

<br>
Mi duecht ok dat een nordisch kruez ni so recht passt un ok dat christlike
daarbin is ni recht meer vun duesse tid, so as Reinhard all seggt. Ik dink ok dat
nedersassische peerd representert best de sassisch snakkenden landen, liggers
dat foer Mekelnborg, Brandenborg un ok Sleswig-Holsten wedher een beten
anders liggt. Tomindst find wi dat peerd in Nedersassen, Westfalen un ok de
football club FC Twente Enschede haett dat as sin symbol.<br>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal">And recognised as such. A
cross or any other religious symbol is just not a good for a flag in my
opinion. Where I"m from, we had Saxon speaking muslims (if all the kids
speak Saxon, what do you do...). I'm sure they would take offence. <br>
<br>
About the black vs. white horse theory (which is all that it is really), here's
another: maybe Saxons normally used a white horse during peace time, and only
used a black horse during war time. Since Widukind was some kind of chosen war
leader, it would be logical then that he used the black horse personally. Then
when things settled down in Saxony
post-Charlemagne, they would use the white horse again. Not because it would be
a christian symbol, but just a peace symbol. But like I said, just a little
theory.<br>
