St. Anthony of Padua Parish Coat of Arms St. Anthony of Padua Parish Coat of Arms ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH LORAIN, OH The front cover of our bulletin displays our beautiful Coat of Arms for St. Anthony of Padua Parish. After working with Church heralds for almost two years, this Coat of Arms has been cre- ated to honor our Parish and its place here in Lorain. The shield is a pristine white that represents baptism. As members of God’s people, all of us who call St. Anthony of Padua Parish our spiritual home, have had our sins washed away through our one baptism in Jesus Christ. The white also represents our call to holiness through our disci- pleship in Christ. At the top of the shield we see two images: The first is the Cross of Lorraine, in which we honor Lorain County and the City of Lorain in which our Parish is located. The Cross of Lorraine is a heraldic cross that has its roots in the Cru- sader’s cross which was granted them by the Patriarch of Jerusalem. It was also on the flag car- ried by St. Joan of Arc. The second image is that of ermine. There are two ermine, one on either side of the Cross of Lorraine. The ermine represent the Diocese of Cleveland, from whose Coat of Arms the ermine come. It reminds us that we are not an isolated people, but rather a part of the larger Body of Christ in this Diocese. With the Bishop as our head, and as a successor of the Apostles, he is our shepherd in this Diocese who has been entrusted with our spiritual welfare. Ermine has long been a sign of royalty, reminding us that we are a royal people set apart for service to Christ the King. In the middle of the shield are three blue wavy lines representing the waves of Lake Erie which cascade across our northern Parish territory. These lines once again speak to our place in the world, as we serve the people who make their temporal and spiritual home in this part of northeast Ohio. Finally, at the bottom of the shield, is the silhouetted image of our Patron, St. Anthony of Pa- dua, holding the child Jesus. This reminds us of the Saint, under whose protection we place our- selves as Parishioners of this Parish. As St. Anthony loved Jesus, and dedicated his life to his ser- vice, so we are all called to embrace his example and lead lives that are pleasing to God, in ser- vice of our brothers and sisters. The symbol of St. Anthony of Padua also honors all the Francis- can men and women who so faithfully served our Parish for so many years. We are all very proud to embrace St. Anthony of Padua Parish, and call it our spiritual home. This Coat of Arms is a beautiful and poignant visual reminder of who we are called to be as a Parish family under the watchful eye of God. This Coat of Arms is also a proud confession to the world of the standard we hold ourselves to as disciples of Jesus. I pray that all parishioners take pride in this symbol of our Parish and her people, as we all strive to live lives of holiness in keeping with our patron St. Anthony of Padua. ~Rev.

ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH LORAIN, OH ADORATION CHAPEL At St. Andrew’s Catholic Church, Fr. Lacombe exposed the Blessed Sacrament for 40 hours devotion and looked up to behold the face of Christ in Agony. Fearing an optical illusion, he said nothing, but he could not banish the image from his thoughts. He sent a man to look at the Host. The man hurried back crying that he has seen the face in the Monstrance. Altar boys returned in amazement with the same report. A girl, who also saw the face said “I cannot forget what I have seen. I will always re- member the face of Our Lord. .it has made an indelible mark on my life.” Word spread quickly. People flocked to the church. Around 2:00 pm, the image of Christ in the Host changed to the crucifix. Crowds gathered to adore Our Lord and as they were singing “Tantum Ergo” the image disappeared. ~Eucharistic Miracle: Reunion Island, Indian Ocean, 1902 “It is our duty to adore the Blessed Sacrament. No one receives the Blessed Sacrament unless he adores It . .and not only do we not sin by adoring, we do sin by not adoring.” ~St. Augustine, Bishop, Doctor of the Church, N.

Symbols play a vital part in the ideological struggles of to-day. Ever since there first arose the question of European, organisation, a large number of suggestions have more particularly been produced in its connection, some of which, despite their shortcomings, have for want of anything ;. better .been employed by various organisations and private ' individuals. A number of writers have pointed out how urgent and important it is that a symbol should be adopted, and the Secretariat-General has repeatedly been asked to provide I a description of the official emblem of the Council of Europe and has been forced to admit that no such emblem exists. Realising the importance of the matter, a number of French Members of Parliament^ have proposed in the National Assembly that the symbol of the European Movement be flown together with the national flag on public buildings. Private movements such as'the Volunteers of Europe have also been agitating for the flying of the European Movement colours on the occasion of certain French national celebrations. In Belgium the emblem of the European Movement was used during the "European Seminar of 1950" by a number of *•*: individuals, private organisations and even public institutions.

  • Izydora Dąmbska SYMBOL
    Izydora Dąmbska SYMBOL Originally published as ”Symbol,” Studia Semiotyczne 12 (1982), 125–132. Translated by Magdalena Tomaszewska. The word ”symbol” (Gr. συµβoλoν´ , Lat. symbolum) has many senses. Origi- nally, symbol was understood as an identification sign, especially one created from two pieces of one object (e.g. a ring) divided with this purpose in view. Later, it could refer to any type of signitive objects — Goclenius writes: ”Symbola accipiuntur pro indiciis significantibus animo aliquid, ut loquuntur, intimantibus.” 1 The term ”symbol” also covered certain legal acts, agreements and ritual professions of faith. This sense has survived till today in such Polish names as ”symbol apostolski” ( the Apostoles’ Creed ; Lat. Symbolum Apostolorum ), ”symbol nicejski” ( the Nicene Creed ; Lat. Symbolum Nicaenum ), ”symbol trydencki” ( the Trent Creed ; Lat. Symbolum Tridentinum ). 2 Also, contemporary semiotics offers various conceptions of symbol. There are logical and mathematical symbols in science, quality sym- bols in technology and industry, religious symbols, symbols in poetry and art, symbols and symbolism in night dreams. A number one is the symbol of truth in Boolean algebra, and the symbol of an object’s high quality in technology. However, it is also said that the Cross of Lorraine became the symbol of the Resistance in France, while a skeleton has been a symbol of death for ages. There are symbols that are emotionally neutral (introduced 1Lexicon Philosophicum Graecum , Marchioburgi 1615: 215. 2The relationship between this

  • The Merovingian Dynasty with Their King Dagobert II Presents An
    On an article by Tracy R Twyman To read Tracy R Twyman’s full article, please refer to the internet. The Merovingian dynasty with their king Dagobert II presents an important spiritual link between Jesus Christ and the Cathar endeavour to restore genuine Christianity a few centuries later. The history of the Merovingian dynasty spans the history of human kind. Just as the dynasty was at the shaping of World’ events, so World’s events shaped the dynasty’s fate. The first phase of humanity has concluded and the Merovingian story stands as the archetype of societal evolution reflected through a significant blood line. The Cathar Testament explains the principles in theory, whilst focusing on the Soul. Using an article by Tracy R. Twyman, I have pinpointed some of the pivotal stages against the Merovingian story traced through legends from the times of Atlantis. My comments do not represent the views of Tracy R Twyman. The adaptation is a working tool for students of the Cathar Testament. My comments are in brackets. To read Tracy R Twyman’s full article, please refer to the internet. Corascendea 17.03.2013. The Myth: The Frankish King Dagobert II, and the Merovingian dynasty from which he came, have been romantically mythologized in the annals of both legend and mystical pseudo-history. The mystique that surrounds them includes attributions of divine origin from Atlantis. They were described as the descendants of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ, while legends talk of their powers, even of the magical powers of their regalia. The Merovingian race originated with a civilization far more ancient than recorded history, from which came all of the major arts and sciences.

  • The Migration of an Emblem Through the Example of the Cross of Burgundy
    The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy by Patrice de La Condamine Abstract The choice for the subject of this paper, The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy, needs an explanation. The purpose of this subject is double. The first one, as the first part of the title indicates, is to show the migration of the emblems, showing that they follow the movements of populations. The second purpose is to explain this reality through an example: the cross of Burgundy. This choice seems to be all the more appropriate since the country which welcomes us was one of the first to receive this emblem on its ter - ritory, in historic circumstances that everybody knows. The story could begin with Once upon a time, there was a cross... The Burgundian native land I do not pretend to know everything about the origins of the cross of Burgundy, how - ever I can talk about its history. First, its name ‘Cross of Burgundy’ does not let any doubt 1 about its origin: Burgundy, the actual region situated in the east of France. On the graphic aspect, it’s a saltirewise cross, called a Saint-Andrew’s cross 2, which is particular, as on the edges of its four limbs some small branch-like offshoots from the main cross can be noticed. That is why this emblem is also called “croix écotée”, 6 in The saltire of Burgundy French. Originally, it represented two crossed tree trunks of which the branches had been cut off, so that only the sawn-off ends remained.

  • The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters
    The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters Version 2.06, October 31, 2014 Pim Rietbroek Preamble Few typefaces – if any – allow the user to access every Latin character, every IPA character, every diacritic, and to have these combine in a typographically satisfactory manner, in a range of styles (roman, italic, and more); even fewer add full support for Greek, both modern and ancient, with specialised characters that papyrologists and epigraphers need; not to mention coverage of the Slavic languages in the Cyrillic range. The Brill typeface aims to do just that, and to be a tool for all scholars in the humanities; for Brill’s authors and editors; for Brill’s staff and service providers; and finally, for anyone in need of this tool, as long as it is not used for any commercial gain.* There are several fonts in different styles, each of which has the same set of characters as all the others. The Unicode Standard is rigorously adhered to: there is no dependence on the Private Use Area (PUA), as it happens frequently in other fonts with regard to characters carrying rare diacritics or combinations of diacritics. Instead, all alphabetic characters can carry any diacritic or combination of diacritics, even stacked, with automatic correct positioning. This is made possible by the inclusion of all of Unicode’s combining characters and by the application of extensive OpenType Glyph Positioning programming. Credits The Brill fonts are an original design by John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks. Alice Savoie contributed to Brill bold and bold italic. The black-letter (‘Fraktur’) range of characters was made by Karsten Lücke.

  • Proposal to Encode the Typikon Symbols in Unicode
    PONOMAR PROJECT Proposal to Encode the Typikon Symbols in Unicode Yuri Shardt, Aleksandr Andreev L2/09-310 L2/09-310 1 In Church Slavonic documents, for example, in the Orthodox Typikon, one encounters 4 common symbols that are used designate the rank of an ecclesiastical commemoration. Depending on the publisher and local convention, these symbols can be placed within the text or in the margins. Since these symbols are often found in Slavonic Church books, these symbols will be encoded in the “Extended Cyrillic Block B” of the Unicode standard. Based on the information in Chapter 47 of the Orthodox Typikon ( (Тѷпікон сіесть´ Ѹ҆ставъ (Tipikon siject' Ustav), 1954), (Тѷпікон сіесть´ Ѹ҆ставъ (Tipikon sijest' Ustav), 1965)) and local convention, the desired symbols, their characteristics, and proposed encoding region are described in Table 1. Two examples of Chapter 47 of the Typikon are presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2. As well, extracts from the Orthodox Menologion, where theses symbols are used to rank the commemorations, are given in Figure 3 and Figure 4. As can be seen from the sample publications, these symbols can occur anywhere in the line. Table 1: Summary of the Proposed Typikon Symbols for Encoding Typical Typikon Proposed Name Proposed Location Comments Symbol Typikon Symbol U + A674 The cross need not be Great Feast the same as the cross in the Typikon ⛐ Symbol Polyeleos.
