It is officially the state flag of the Sovereign Order of Malta (SOM), but in Malta it is flown on feast days, such as today which is Easter. The Maltese fly it not for its association to the SOM but to commemorate catholic feasts and holy days.

Today is Easter Sunday. L-Irxoxt, the statue of the Risen Christ holds that flag symbolising victory over death. Therefore on Maltese houses you will also see that flag.
