Origin/meaning
Yellow and red represent light and vitality, as does the sun. These are important concepts in Thracian Orphism, the ancestral religion observed by the armiger's family. This was the religion of the Thracian people that inhabited their native Bulgaria. The downward-pointed triangle is a symbol of the Mother Goddess in the Orphic religion. The Pegasus is an important cultural symbol for the Thracians, and occurs frequently in their art.
The organ pipes represent the armiger's career as an organist, a composer and a musicologist. The musical notation is the first bar of the first piece that they composed, at the age of five, and which marked the beginning of her lifelong career as a musician. The oak, here represented by its leaves, is a sacred tree for the Thracians, namely for the Odryssian people, who saw it as representing the vertical structure of the universe reaching from the world of the dead to the world of the gods. It grows both in Canada and in Bulgaria, the armiger's two homelands. St. John’s wort was considered an important healing plant by the Thracians.
The motto is a Latin phrase derived from the armiger's Bulgarian family motto, and means “We never surrender.”
