Black cassock with white swallow tail cross is worn in chapel and 
during religious ceremonies.  But during their heyday, in the Holy 
Land, on Cyprus, the Rhodes, and finally on Malta, the flags and arms 
of the order bore the white cross on red background, and the tabards of 
the fighting men were the same.
