The fleur-de-lis represents the Trinity: three distinct petals (Persons) bound by one cord at their base (Godhead).

That is of course only 1 of the many interpretations of the meaning and use of the Flure de lis

It is the symbol of the Boy Scouts also.

Oh, I know. I just think that it gives a great illustration of the Trinity, too. :)

The Trinity is Catholic ?

I thought it was all about Bondage and the Story of O.

[Kirkwood]

Who dat!

We had our wood stove designed around the Fleur de lis, for this reason and also because the French use it as a symbol of the Blessed Virbin Mary.

Probably the only "Catholic" wood stove in the USA.

Wow! VERY cool! Dominus vobiscum! :)

This descendant of Huguenots will just look

Not to mention the New Orleans Saints.

I always thought it was supposed to represent the lily, a symbol of purity and often -- though not always -- associated with Mary, the Mother of Christ.

It was also associated with the House of Plantagenet, "plantagenet" being French for "plantain," or lily.

Thanks. Et cum spiritu tuo!

This is a Beta version of a new stove design from Woodstock Stoves in NH. They'll do whatever metal designs (water jet cutter) and color combos (from their list of high temp paints) people request when they go into production this summer.

Use every opportunity to evangelize, eh?

I’m not sure how this is “answering Protestants”.

I noticed the pot on the stove is not black.
