Coat of Arms of Newfoundland and Labrador
From Freepedia
Coat of Arms of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada was originally granted on January 1, 1637. In 1928, it was rediscovered and officially reintroduced. It consists of:
- a red shield with a white cross
- two white unicorns and two yellow lions occupy opposing quadrants of the shield
- two Beothuk supporters with arrows and bows
- a European elk above the shield on a red and gold torse
- a banner that reads Quaerite prime Regnum Dei quoting Matthew 7:23 from the Bible, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God".
There is quite a history behind the crest, as it was adopted in the 17th century, forgotten, and rediscovered and re-adopted in modern times.
