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

* HOLM: The Holm Oak is a symbol of Strong and Constant Spirit in heroic actions and courageous undertakings.

* WATER: The Water is a symbol of Enlightened Wisdom, of Virtuous Mood, and can also symbolize domain extension.

* THISTLE: The Thistle symbolizes in Heraldry a heart nobly humble, but so careful of its honor, that it defends with its sword the luster of its lineage.

* BEZANT: The Bezants, due to its oriental significance, was adopted by most of the Knights who took part in the expedition to the Holy Land.
