The eight points on the Maltese cross represent the eight obligations or aspirations of the Knights of St. John, also known as the Knights Hospitaller. These points symbolize the virtues of faith, hope, charity, fortitude, justice, discretion, mercy, and humility. Each point reflects the commitment of the knights to serve God and assist those in need, embodying their chivalric ideals and dedication to their mission. The cross itself has become an enduring emblem of the Order and its historical significance.
