What do the icons on ancient sails mean?
Ancient mariners used to put icons on their sails such as a cross, a chevron, or a saint. Is there a web site that shows and discusses the significance of some of these icons?

A cross of any sort represented a belief in Christ.
A saint was a way of asking the saint to bless their ship and voyage.
I'm not sure about the chevron. Maybe it meant keep this end up.
