Yesterday I announced on ClausNet.com the introduction of the Santa Claus Oath Coat of Arms.
The Coat of Arms for the Santa Claus Oath (http://santaclausoath.webs.com/) is an historically correct symbol of the eight principles of the Santa Claus Oath.
The Santa Claus Oath Coat of Arms represents the Oath with the following elements:
Shield
The shield shape is consistent with the time of Saint Nicholas.
Symbols
The letters S and C represent the name of Santa Claus.
The candy canes symbolize the two legendary Santas, Charles Howard and Jim Yellig. The canes are crossed as Yellig's and Howard's paths crossed only once.
The lower part of the shield has the three acknowledged symbols of Saint Nicholas, the miter (bishop's hat) the crosier (shepherds staff) and three gold coins, representing the gold given to provide dowries to impoverished maidens.
Reindeer
There are two reindeer that flank the shield. One reindeer represents designer bearded Santas and the other represents real bearded Santas. The reindeer have come together in unity to uphold the shield and uphold their pledge to the Santa Claus Oath.
Grapevines
At the top and bottom of the shield and reindeer there are grapevines. The grapevines are an ancient symbol for the thirst and quest of knowledge.
Banner
Completing the Coat of Arms is a banner with “Santa Claus Oath” on it.
Colors
The colors of the Santa Claus Coat of Arms are the traditional Christian colors of Christmas. Red is for the blood of Christ, green is for the Eternal life in Christ and gold is for Christ the Divine.
The Santa Claus Oath Coat of Arms has eight elements. These eight elements represent the eight principles that make up the Santa Claus Oath.
The Shield
The SC Letters
The Crossed Candy Canes
The Traditional Symbols of Saint Nicholas
The Reindeer
The Grapevines
