The Salesian Coat of Arms

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Salesian Coat of Arms, designed by Professor Boidi, appeared for the first time in a circular letter of Don Bosco's on 8th December 1885. The shining star, the large anchor, the heart on fire symbolize the theological virtues; the figure of St. Francis de Sales recalls the Patron of the Society; the small wood in the lower part reminds us of the Founder; the high mountains signify the heights of perfection towards which members strive; the interwoven palm and laurel that enfold the shield either side are emblematic of the prize reserved for a virtuous and sacrificial life. The motto Da mihi animas, caetera tolle, expresses every Salesian's ideal.
Español: Apareció por primera vez en la Circular de Don Bosco del 8 de diciembre de 1885, diseñado por el Profesor Boidi. “La estrella radiante, el áncora grande, el corazón en llamas simbolizan las virtudes teologales; la figura de San Francisco de Sales recuerda al Patrón de la Sociedad; el bosquecillo, en la parte inferior, hace referencia al Fundador; las montañas altas significan las cimas de la perfección a la cual deben aspirar los Socios; la palma y el laurel que, entrelazados al pie, abrazan el escudo hasta su mitad, son emblemas del premio reservado a una vida de sacrificio y de virtud. El lema Da mihi animas,caetera tolle, expresa el ideal de todo salesiano”.
Français : Il apparaît pour la première fois dans la lettre circulaire de Don Bosco du 8 décembre 1885. Il a été conçu par le Professeur Boidi. "L`étoile rayonnante, la grande ancre, le coeur en flammes symbolisent les vertus théologales ; le portrait de Saint François de Sales représente le Patron de la Société; le bosquet dans la partie inférieure du blason rappelle le Fondateur; les hautes montagnes signifient les sommets de la perfection vers laquelle doivent tendre les Membres; les branches de palme et de laurier, qui sortent du pied du blason et l`entourent jusqu`à mi-hauteur, sont les emblèmes de la récompense promise à ceux qui auront vécu une vie honnête et pleine de dévouement. La devise "Da mihi animas, caetera tolle" exprime l`idéal de tout Salésien".

Il motto Da mihi animas, caetera tolle, esprime l’ideale di ogni Salesiano”.

A figura de São Francisco de Sales lembra o Patrono da Sociedade. O pequeno bosque na parte de baixo lembra o Fundador. As elevadas montanhas significam as alturas da perfeição à qual devem tender os membros da Congregação. A palma e o louro que, entrelaçados, abraçam o escudo até o meio, são emblemas do prêmio reservado a uma vida sacrificada e virtuosa. O mote Da mihi animas coetera tolle exprime o ideal de todo salesiano”.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origin copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over 120 years ago, and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (see here for the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1930.

 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
