What is the meaning of the XXX on Amsterdam’s flag?
XXX: Fire, floods and the Black Death
A famous theory is that the three crosses on Amsterdam’s flag represent the three dangers of Old Amsterdam: fire, floods and the Black Death, or that they were meant to ward off these dangers.
However, this popular legend has no historical basis. Important families in the Amsterdam area used St. Andrew's crosses
before the black plague hit Europe.
