| ARTICLES RELATED TO symbolise | | | |  symbolise: Encyclopedia II - Flag of South Africa - DesignWhen the new flag was designed, it was specifically stated that the colours had no official meaning or symbolism, other than their choice from their use in the past. However, in recent times an unofficial consensus has been reached in terms of an accepted meaning for the flag and its colours. The pall (Y) is stated to symbolise the convergence as one unified nation. Whilst according to Brownell at the time, the red symbolises the blood shed in the country's various conflicts and wars. The blue represents the sky and the two oceans that surro ...

Castration - History.
The method of castration has roots before recorded human history. Castration was frequently used in certain cultures, such as in Europe, the Middle East, India, Africa or China, for religious or social reasons. After battles, winners castrated their captives or bodies of the defeated to symbolise their victory and 'seize' their power. Castrated men - eunuchs - were often admitted to special social classes. Eunuchs were also often used to guard harems. Castration also figured in a number of religious cults: see castration cults. Other religions, for exam ...

| | | | | symbolise: Encyclopedia II - Cologne - The Coat of Arms of Cologne The three crowns symbolise the Magi or Three Kings whose bones are said to be kept in a golden sarcophagus in the Cathedral (see Shrine of the Three Kings at Cologne Cathedral). In 1164, Cologne's archbishop Rainald of Dassel brought the relics to the city, making it a major pilgrimage destination. This led to the design of the current cathedral as the predecessor was considered too small to accommodate the pilgrims.
The eleven flames are a reminder of the Britannic princess St. Ursula and her legendary 11,000 virgin companions who we ...

| | | | | symbolise: Encyclopedia II - Black Stone - Significance of the Black Stone There are various opinions as to what the Black Stone actually symbolises. Many Muslims regard the Stone as 'just a stone'. When Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second Caliph, came to kiss the stone, he said, in front of all assembled: "No doubt, I know that you are a stone and can neither harm anyone nor benefit anyone. Had I not seen Allah’s Messenger kissing you, I would not have kissed you." They pay their respects to the Black Stone in a spirit of trust in Muhammad, not with any belief in the Black Stone itself.
On a more practical level, the stone is often used as a 'marker' to keep track of t ...

| | | | | | symbolise: Encyclopedia II - Abbey of Cluny - Cluniac Houses in England All of the English Cluniac Houses which were larger than cells were known as Priories, symbolising their subordinance to Cluny itself. The coming of the eleventh century saw the spread of Cluny's influence into the British Isles. As the head of their order was the Abbot at Cluny all English Cluniacs were bound to cross to France to Cluny to consult or be consulted unless the Abbot chose to come to England: This he did five times in the 13th century, and only twice in the 14th.

The red interlinked rings stand for African solidarity and the blood shed for the liberation of Africa; the palm leaves, for peace; the gold, for Africa's wealth and bright future; the green, for African hopes and aspirations.

| | | | | symbolise: Encyclopedia II - Shabbat - Mandatory activities According to Rabbinic literature, Jews are commanded by God to observe (refrain from forbidden activity) and remember (with words, thoughts, and actions) the Shabbat, and these two actions are symbolised by lighting two candles late Friday afternoon (no later than eighteen minutes before sunset on Friday) by Jewish women, usually the mother/wife.
Although most Shabbat laws are restrictive (see below), the fourth of the Ten Commandments in Exodus is taken by the Talmud to allude to the positive aspects of the Shabb ...

| | | | | symbolise: Encyclopedia II - Saraswati - Other Associations As a water goddess, she symbolises fertility, and prosperity. She is associated with purity and creativity, especially in the context of literary and verbal skills. In the post-vedic age, she began to lose her status as a river goddess and was increasingy associated with literature, arts, music--i.e., anything that flowed.
In the Rig-Veda (6,61,7), Saraswati is credited with killing the asura (demon) Vritra, who represents drought, darkness, and chaos. She is often seen as equivalent to the other Vedic goddesses like Vāk (divine word, also romanised as Vac), Savitri (illumination) and Gayatri. Saraswati represents i ...

| | | | | symbolise: Encyclopedia II - Waiting for Godot - Interpretations Beckett uses the characters' interaction to symbolise the tedium and meaninglessness of modern life, both major themes of the existentialists. Critic Vivian Mercier summed up the two-act play with the words "nothing happens, twice." Another critic, referring to the work's drawn-out scenes and scarcity of characters, summed up his review with a line from the play: "Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it's awful!"
Despite its essential bleakness, however, it has many moments of comedy, some of it recalling the deadpan slapstick ...

| | | | | | symbolise: Encyclopedia II - Gentleman - Superiority of the fighting man The fundamental idea of "gentry", symbolised in this grant of coat-armour, had come to be that of the essential superiority of the fighting man; and, as Selden points out (page 707), the fiction was usually maintained in the granting of arms "to an ennobled person though of the long Robe wherein he hath little use of them as they mean a shield".
At the last the wearing of a sword on all occasions was the outward and visible sign of a "gentleman"; ...

Ancestors of the Sinhalese, they ruled the island for more than 2,000 years. Beginning in the 3rd century BC, the country was converted to a pure form of Indian Buddhism that would continue to be practised in the future. The famous tooth of Buddha, a relic symbolising a 4th-century tradition that is often linked to royalty, was brought to Sri Lanka. From this time on, the Royal Palace and the Temple of the Tooth have been associated with the administrative and religious funct ...

In mid-May, Mengistu resigned as head of the Ethiopian Government and went into exile in Zimbabwe, leaving a caretaker government in Addis Ababa. Having defeated the Ethiopian forces in Eritrea, EPLF troops took control of their homeland. Later that month, the United States chaired talks in London to formalize the end of the war. These talks were attended b ...
