Summary
editDescriptionPantelis Kassotis Armorial Achievement.png |
English: Escutcheon Field: Azure / Sable.
Charges: A chevron argent with two crescents azure and a star azure, surrounded by three maple leaves argent. Bordure: Although the use of bordure wavy marks an armiger as illegitimate by the College of Arms in England, in this case it symbolises the clouds that surround a mountain top (hence the use of the color argent). The armiger in question has Ottoman Greek origins and isn't constrained by the conventional traditions of heraldry in the West. This is therefore considered a para-heraldic element. Helmet: Closed Torse: Azure / Argent Crest: A mountain top argent, sable crowned by a dawning sun or, three maple leaves argent and three stars argent. Supporters: Two dolphins azure hauriant in both the dexter and sinister. Compartment: Waves Motto: "A Mari Usque Ad Mare " meaning "From Sea to Sea" Design rationale: The colors azure and argent represent Greece and the paternal line of Pantelis Kassotis, while the three maple leaves argent represent his maternal line and the fact that he’s a third generation Canadian citizen. The two crescents azure represent the fact that he's a second son. The mountain-like geometry of the lower escutcheon represents the struggles of life and the star azure represents hope. The crest and compartment represent the mountains and lakes of Canada while the supporters represent Greece and the Aegean sea. The crest contains a dual meaning. Aside from the mountains of Canada it also represents the struggles of life and the dawning sun behind it represents hope. A beacon of light that shines away the darkness of night. It symbolizes the struggles that brought his family to Canada and the hope that came with their journey. The motto "A Mari Usque Ad Mare " means "From Sea to Sea". |
