Description of the flag

This flag is used by extreme fanatic Orthodox movements during their protests. The motto says:

"Orthodoxy Or Death" (Orthodoxia e Thanatos)

which is probably taken from the Greek patriots' motto Eleutheria e Thanatos meaning "Freedom or Death". The font that is used is Byzantine-like.
