  • The fleur-de-lis has multiple meanings in Catholic tradition, including:
    • Purity - The fleur-de-lis has been a symbol of purity since ancient times. In Christianity, lilies symbolize purity and chastity, which is why the fleur-de-lis is often associated with the Virgin Mary.
    • Holy Trinity - The three petals of the fleur-de-lis represent the three forms of God in Christianity: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
    • Cleansing - The fleur-de-lis is said to represent cleansing in the Catholic tradition. According to legend, an angel brought Clovis a golden lily after his baptism, which was made from the tears of Eve when she left Eden.
    • Association with the church - The fleur-de-lis was adopted by many European noble families, including the French monarchy, to associate themselves with the Catholic church.
    • St. Louis - The fleur-de-lis is featured on the flag of St. Louis, Missouri, and in other areas of the city where Christianity is practiced.
