In the 14th century, the devotion to Sant Jordi - hardly present in Catalan personal onomastics and toponymy- made its way to Catalonia as a symbol of chivalry. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, the Generalitat officially promoted the Sant Jordi festival and promoted the display of the Creu de Sant Jordi. With the Renaissance, it becomes a patriotic symbol and the fight against despotism.
