The historic "Appeal to Heaven Flag" aka "Pine Tree Flag" has been adopted in the modern era by Christian Nationalists and other right-wing activists. Several of these flags were carried by individuals who were present at the U.S. Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. https://www.vice.com/en/article/epdmde/what-we-saw-at-the-capitol-hill-insurrection https://towcenter.medium.com/the-pine-tree-flag-how-one-symbol-at-the-capitol-riot-connects-far-right-extremism-to-christianity-f02314a5f759
