Symbols - What does heaven look like
Banner pennant or standard
Like a roll of cloth, the banner or pennant – a streaming piece of material is symbolic of spirit output.
This is why pageants held for knights often involved pennants and banners – a symbol of thoughts heading to the spiritual world – a sort of prayer via the pennant. As the energy is being output by us, it is symbolically red, which is why many pennants were red.
