2) AZURE: Blue color that symbolizes Justice, Zeal, Truth, Loyalty, Charity and Beauty.

3) PURPLE: Justice, Wit, Truth, Greatness, Wisdom and Love; those who wear this color are obliged to defend the Prince defending ecclesiastical people.

Next lets look at the characteristics of some figures that we can find in heraldry and crests:

* AXE: The Axe symbolizes Death caused to the enemy, and also an ax or wick to illuminate.

* ARROW: The Fess represents Readiness (for battle); if depicted with a cross, represents an affliction.

* CRICKET: The Cricket is a symbol of the Irresolute and Inconstant Lover.

* BEAR: The Bear is a symbol of Strength and skill in handling weapons against the enemy, achieving Victory.

* PINE: The Pine, due to its elevation, is a symbol of Noble and enlightened Thoughts and due to its resinous nature, suitable for burning, of a Fiery Heart in avenging family outrages.

* WOLF: The Wolf is a symbol of a Constant Heart that suffers the calamities of war and siege with generous spirit; but when the time comes to fight in the open field, he fiercely fights, without giving his enemy a barracks.
