The House Crest of Queen
Elizabeth I
The House Crest is meant
to reflect what we as
Elizabethans value as a
House. The woven background
represents a sieve, which
was an Elizabethan symbol of
discernment and the ability
to separate good from evil.
We used it to represent not
only discernment, but also
authenticity and
transparency, since a sieve
is meant to be seen through.
Just as each thread of the
sieve is connected and
intertwined with each other,
so also are the
relationships within our
House. The weaving of the
sieve also represents the
intimacy within our House,
for we are woven together as
friends and sisters.
We then used in our House
Crest, a crown. The crown
represents sovereignty and
authority. As Elizabethans
we aspire to be strong,
courageous women who know
that we are daughters of the
High King, Christ, and
therefore as His daughters
we share in His sovereignty.
The authority of the crown
is supported by the color
purple, which is the color
of royalty. We claim this
color not only because
Christ is our king, but also
because of the lineage of
our royal namesake.
The last symbol on our crest
is The King’s College lion.
By having the lion as a part
of our crest, we understand
and lovingly acknowledge
that we as a House are part
of the greater community of
The King’s College. We
included the lion also
because it is a symbol of
courage, power, and royalty.
As the House of Elizabeth I,
we strive to remember that
we are a group of young
women who are not only
committed to following
Christ’s lead, but to also
do it with courage,
strength, and as dignified
and graceful daughters of
the King. |
