Private Registration:
The
Ukrainian Heraldry
Society in 2017 (№ 648
in Volume XXXIII of the
Society's Armorial
Register).
Assumed: Norway
2016.
Rendition
by Danilo Carlos
Martins.
The
more recent grant from
The Chief Herald of Arms
of Malta differs
slightly in blazon to
that of the earlier
South African
Registration. The South
African blazon is Vert,
a wooden staff, its
upper end terminating in
a Latin cross, raguly,
couped at random,
issuant from its
sinister nombril point a
leaved offshoot
encircling the cross,
its end terminating and
debruising the lower
limb Or. Crest: In front
of a pair of wings
displayed Vert, a wooden
staff issuant, its upper
end terminating in a
Latin cross, raguly,
couped at random,
issuant from its
sinister nombril point a
leaved offshoot
encircling the cross,
its end terminating and
debruising the lower
limb Or.
The wooden staff
terminating in a Latin
cross is both an
expression of the
armiger's Christian
faith, and a symbolic
representation of life
conquering death.
The
Motto of the Maltese
Grant translates as “And
the light shineth in the
darkness.”
The armiger holds a
doctorate from Vilnius
University (the Republic
of Lithuania).
The
armiger's middle name,
Vizgirda, is the family
name (spelled as Wizgird
in Latin and Polish, and
as Vizgirda in
Lithuanian) of his
maternal ancestors, who
were nobles in the
Lithuanian-Polish
Commonwealth.
