FEATURED K OF C COUNCIL WEBSITE Updated 6/22

Holy Family Council #6099 Chattanooga, TN US

WHAT IS THE SYMBOLISM EMBODIED IN THE KNIGHTS’ EMBLEM?

The emblem was designed in 1883 and reflects a shield mounted upon an artistic rendition of the Cross of Christ through which all graces of redemption are provided to al mankind. The cross has arms that are narrow at the center and expand in width as it expands outward, like our Catholic faith.
The shield is reminiscent of medieval knights. Mounted on the shield are three distinct objects: a fasces, an anchor and a short sword. A fasces is an ax symbolic of the authority that must exist in a tightly bound and efficient operating organization. The anchor is a mariner’s symbol for Columbus, the patron of our Order. The short sword is a weapon that was carried by a Knight when undertaking an errand of mercy. In other words, the shield represents Catholic Knighthood engaged in merciful action. The letters “K of C” proclaim our specific Order.
In addition to the patriotic symbolism of the red, white and blue colors, there is an ecclesiastical meaning. The red reflects Christ’s blood shed on Calvary, and martyrs’ blood, shed in defense of the faith. White is the color of the Eucharist, God’s love for mankind and Charity. Blue is the color of Our Lady’s mantle in which she wrapped her Son, a symbol of Hope.
