This detail shows stars on the blue canton of the Belfast Civil War flag quilt. The large white star contains the Lord's Prayer and each of the five points contains a biblical verse drawn from either the old or new testaments.

The smaller stars surrounding the large star represent a battle or campaign in which Belfast soldiers took part in. This photograph was taken before the quilt was conserved.
