¨ Crown - The crown is significant in
a number of ways. Firstly it demonstrates our devotion to Jesus Christ
the King of Kings, our loyalty to the British Monarchy (being Protestant),
and the ancestory to the house of Israel through the Line of King David.
¨ Harp - The harp is the National Standard of Ireland from the time
of Henry VIII, and also the heraldic symbol of County Armagh. It is also
widely used in Irish Regimental Badges. This harp is associated with King
David (I Samuel 16:23). The woman's head is that of Tea Tephi, the daughter
of Zedekiah (the last King of Judah in Jerusalem) who was taken captive
to Babylon. History records that Tea Tephi made her escape to Ireland
with Jeremiah (famous prophet of the Old Testament), where she married
Eochaid the Heremon, a prince of Israelite descent and closely allied
with the tribe of Dan. The wings symbolise protection. The harp in our
badge has been modified to show six strings - one for each County in Northern
Ireland.
¨ Winged Dagger -Damocles' sword of retribution, surrounded by flames.
¨ Flags - The Orange & Purple battle standards are symbolic of
the colours of Williams army and of the degrees contained within the Orange
Order.
