The House Crest of
Winston Churchill The
House of Winston Churchill
Crest displays the Three
Christian Virtues: Faith,
Hope, and Love. In addition,
the Four Cardinal Virtues:
Prudence, Temperance,
Justice, and Fortitude. And
lastly the crest exhibits
our loyalty to The King’s
College, The House of
Churchill, and most
importantly our Heavenly
Father.
The Trinity symbol
represents the Three
Christian Virtues of Faith,
Hope, and Love. In addition
to this representation there
is a balance of equality
between them. Neither virtue
is more or less important
than the other.
The Four Cardinal Virtues
are depicted throughout the
crest. The Bible symbolizes
prudence. Justice is
represented by the
silhouette of our house
leader, Winston Churchill
and temperance through the
cigar in his mouth. Finally,
the virtue of fortitude is
portrayed by the lion.
The Latin phrase
“Conventus Frater”
translates to “Union of
Brothers.” We are brothers
in the House of Churchill,
The Kings College, and most
significantly brothers under
Christ.
The triad of crosses
reminds us of the great
sacrifice our Lord Jesus
made for all mankind and our
devotion to him. It is to
the cross we cling and
through his death we live.
“Never
give in--never, never,
never, never, in nothing
great or small, large or
petty, never give in except
to convictions of honor and
good sense. Never yield to
force; never yield to the
apparently overwhelming
might of the enemy.”
-Sir Winston Churchill |
