Luther Rose
Made by: Kathy Zbinden

The Luther Rose is the symbol of Martin Luther. Luther designed this seal and described it in a letter dated July 8, 1530. A black cross inside a red heart symbolized for Luther that the crucified Christ keeps man alive. The heart is placed in a white rose, white being the color of the spirits and angels. The sky-blue field behind the rose represents joy in the spirit and in faith, and the beginning of future heavenly joy. The golden ring bordering the design reminds us that heaven's blessings, like gold, are precious and last forever.
