CrestBlazonAn elephant statant Sable tusked Argent holding in the trunk a garb Or, upon a rock proper semé of Passion nails Or; SymbolismThe Canadian Heraldic Authority does not have confirmed symbolism for this emblem. The following comments are hypotheses only. The elephant possibly refers to the elephant of the coat of arms of the Crown colony of Ceylon, Archdeacon Knowles’ birthplace, while the garb of wheat possibly refers to Saskatchewan, where he settled. |
MottoBlazonIN HOC SIGNO VINCES; SymbolismThis Latin phrase means “In this sign you shall conquer.” The Canadian Heraldic Authority does not have confirmed symbolism for this emblem. The following comments are hypotheses only. The “sign” possibly represents the cross, as the Latin phrase was traditionally associated with a vision of a cross of light seen by the Emperor Constantine before a battle. This cross possibly refers to the cross in the arms, and more generally to Archdeacon Knowles’ vocation as a priest. |
