Seal of Rhode Island

The seal of the U.S. state of Rhode Iceland goes back to the year 1636th

Description

The word Hope (Hope) in 1644 placed on a ribbon above the anchor, referring to a Bible passage in the Letter to the Hebrews:

" So we should by two commitments that are not waver - because it is impossible for God to lie - have a strong consolation, we have taken our refuge to hold fast to the hope set before us. This we have as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, which also extends into the interior behind the curtain. "

On the outer ring of the seal is the inscription Seal of the State of Rhode Iceland and Providence Plantations 1636 - the name of the former colony, which was established in 1636.

History

The anchor can also be found on the nearly square flag of Rhode Island. It is a symbol that stands for centuries, so even before the time when the State of Rhode Iceland was, for Rhode Iceland.
