About the fleur-de-lis

The fleur-de-lis (or fleur-de-lys; plural: fleurs-de-lis; French pronunciation: [flœ? d? lis]) is a stylized lily (in French, fleur means flower, and lis stands for lily) or iris. After several centuries of use on emblems & insignia of government, monarchies, society, art and culture, the fleur de lis has come to possess political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic& cultural significance. In French, fleur de lis literally means "lily flower". It is widely thought to be a stylized version of the Iris pseudacorus species. Decorative statues and ornaments similar to the fleur-de-lis have featured in artwork since the dawn of human civilization.

Historical Contexts of the fleur de lis

The fleur-de-lis is most particularly associated with French royalty. It the fleur-de-lis) remains an enduring symbol of France that features on French postage stamps, although the fleur-de-lis has never actually been adopted officially by any of the French republics. The fleur-de-lis also appears often in French literature. Some well-known examples in English translation include the fleur-de-lis character in Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, & the reference in The Three Musketeers to the medieval custom of branding a criminal with the sign of the fleur de lis. Ironically, the fleur de lis brand also appears as the symbol of command on the fleur de lis baton, the baton conferred upon the French field marshal. It was a symbol of command held by the musketeer D’artagnan during his death on the battlefield for the United Provinces. The symbol has also featured in modern fiction on historical & mythical themes, such as in the bestselling novel The Da Vinci Code and other fictional novels referring to the Priory of Sion.

In the post-cold war state of Bosnia & Herzegovina, the flag of Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1992 to 1998 contained six fleurs-de-lis and was used as a national symbol of Bosniaks. In Britain, the fleur-de-lis has remained in the official arms of the Norroy King of Arms for hundreds of years.

The fleurs-de-lis appears on military insignia and the logos of many organizations, the most famous being that of the notorious Israeli Mossad, the World War I, the 256th Infantry Brigade Combat Team and the Louisiana State University Cadet Corps.

During the 20th century, the symbol was adopted by many Scouting organizations worldwide for their badges. It is also commonly used by Architects and designers as a repeated motif in a wide range of contexts, from ironwork to bookbinding, particularly where a French context is implied. As a religious symbol, it may represent the Trinity, or be an iconographic attribute of the archangel Gabriel, in particular in representations of the Annunciation. Where it is so used, the fleur-de-lis is associated with the Virgin Mary.

Significance of the Fleur de lis Petals

In the time of King Louis IX (St. Louis) the three petals of the flower were said to represent faith, wisdom & chivalry, and to be a sign of divine blessing bestowed on France. During the next century, the 14th, the tradition of Trinity symbolism was established in France, & then spread elsewhere.

Symbolism in religion & art

In the Middle Ages, the symbols of lily & fleur-de-lis (lis is French for "lily") overlapped considerably in religious art. Historian Michel Pastoureau states that until about 1300 they were found in paintings of Jesus, but gradually they took on Marian symbolism & were associated with the Song of Solomon's "lily among thorns" (lilium inter spinas), understood to be a reference to Mary. Other scripture and religious literature in which the lily symbolizes purity & chastity also helped establish the flower as an iconographic attribute of the Virgin. The three petals of the fleur de lis reflect a widespread association with the Holy Trinity, with the band on the bottom symbolizing Mary. The tradition says that without Mary you cannot understand the Trinity since it was she who bore The Son.
