Ever wonder about the Fleur De Lis in our logo?

The Fleur De Lis or Fleur De Lys means 'flowers of the lily'. This stylized lily has traditionally been used to represent French royalty. It signifies perfection, light, and life. Legends differ on the origin of the fleur; some stories say that Clovis, the Merovingian King of the Franks was presented with a lily by an angel, to represent purification, on his conversion to Christianity. Other tales tell that he adopted the symbol when waterlillies showed him how to safely cross the river and leading to a battle victory. While it has appeared on the city and state flags for years, it has become the symbol of rebirth and renewal in Louisiana since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina on 8-29-05.
