Crest Symbolism:

This crest features a lion, the traditional king of beasts, representing dauntless courage, strength, and valour. Depicted in the "passant guardant" attitude, the lion is shown walking with its head turned to face the observer, symbolizing vigilance and a watchful guard. In its dexter (right) paw, the lion holds a green trefoil (a three-leafed clover) with a stem attached ("slipped"). The trefoil is emblematically linked to perpetuity and longevity, while the color green (vert) signifies hope, joy, and loyalty in love.
