fleur de lis...the ancient royal statement

Fleur de lis means "lily flower". In New Orleans it is everywhere. The city flag and city hall prominently display the ancient symbol. This emblem is a badge for New Orleans, it graces our architecture, it is in our art, it is forever in our life. We are devout followers of the Fleur de lis logo on the helmets of the New Orleans Saints....these days that is royalty! For many people it shouts out "I Believe".

The modern usage of Fleur de lis states "the continuing presence of heraldry in everyday life".
