St Patrick's Cross is the red diagonal cross, a saltire, associated with Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. This symbol has long been tied to Ireland and even appears in discussions of the Union Flag to represent Ireland within the United Kingdom. While the current flag of Ireland is the green-white-orange tricolor, the cross itself is the symbol most closely connected to Ireland. The other flags correspond to different symbols: England uses a plain red cross, Scotland uses a white saltire on blue, and Wales features a dragon. So the flag most connected with that St Patrick's Cross is the flag of Ireland.
