Description of the flag

Saint Saviour (French language: Saint-Sauveur, J�rriais: St Sa�veux) is one of the twelve parishes of Jersey in the Channel Islands. It is the only one to be virtually landlocked, having only a small piece of access to the sea at Le Dicq. The Parish church, St Sauveur de L'�pine, was dedicated to Jesus Christ. Hence, the crown and nails of the crucifixion though '�pine' means thorn and may suggest a relic of the crown of thorns.

The parish flag shows the symbol of a crown of thorns and some nails recall the Saviour's suffering. These symbols are gold, on a background of red.
