Reply To: Disturbed by Knight and Castle Guard Costumes

The fleur delis symbol is the symbol found on knight costumes and has great significance.

To those above posters who were concerned about where the symbol originated (i.e. maybe it was from a kind nobleman)this symbol originated with the pope and THE NOTORIOUS king Louis WHO USED it as his coat of arms.

King Louis IX financed a crusade, EXPELLED Jews from France and forced debates and burned all the Gemaras in france for which we say Kinnos over. (for his efforts against Jews and service to the church he became st.Louis)

Please do not make fun of this issue as people are unwittingly putting on symbols of the church on Purim day.
