Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The fleur-de-lis (French: “lily flower”) is an ancient symbol long associated with French royalty. Depicting a stylized lily or lotus flower, we encounter the emblem in many places across the world.
What makes the Fleur-de-lis symbol notable is its use across different contexts. This symbol has represented peace, war, religion, politics, royalty, and more.
For example, Joan of Arc carried a white banner that showed God blessing the French royal emblem, the fleur-de-lis when she led French troops to victory over the English. The Catholic Church has used the Fleur-de-lis emblem for many years. The lily was a symbol of the Holy Trinity and an emblem of the Virgin Mary.
A number of military units use the symbol's resemblance to a spearhead to identify martial power and strength.
