Crest Symbolism:

This crest features a demi-lion rampant argent (silver or white) situated between two wings gules (red). The lion is the emblem of undying courage, strength, and a warrior's spirit; its rampant posture, rearing up to strike, signifies a readiness to fight for a noble cause. The wings flanking the lion are often interpreted as symbols of protection and swiftness. A distinctive element of this crest is the charge on the lion's shoulder: three guttes-de-sang, or drops of blood. In heraldry, these red droplets symbolize wounds received in battle, representing sacrifice and the willingness to shed blood for one's country or faith.
