The lower part has the “cross flory counterchanged”, the arms of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). The shape of the cross – “flory” – has | |||
arms like a fleur-de-lys where the “sable and argent” – black | |||
and silver/white – reflect the characteristic colours of the | |||
Dominican habit; a long white tunic with a black cloak, cappa | |||
and a scapular. The black and white contrasting colours are | |||
said to represent truth over heresy in addition to the white | |||
representing joy and the purity of Christ.[1] | |||
Every Dominican-established school includes this black and white cross into | |||
their school crest. Likewise, Veritas, the Latin for Truth, can be seen on the | |||
top scroll of the crest. This is the motto of all Dominican schools as it is a | |||
tenet of the Dominican Order that those pupils in their care must also be in | |||
pursuit of Truth in all its forms. [2] | |||
