[ESP-ENG] Dige hecho de madera (Cruz de Malta) | Dige made of wood (Maltese Cross).

Hello my friends Hive, greetings to this great community. Today I am pleased to share with you again a very special detail, which I always liked for its meaning as it is the dige of the Maltese Cross, I started to use my creativity and began to make this dige with a piece of wood. This Maltese Cross is a symbol of protection for firefighters and it is also used a lot by the military, because for them it symbolizes the good will to protect others.
I am particularly struck by the meaning of the 8 points of the Maltese Cross which is: Charity, loyalty, gallantry, generosity, protection of the weak, service prowess, heroism and service and chivalry; Because of this I was motivated to make this dige and wanted to share it with you.
