Picture of the day
The
royal coat of arms of the Kingdom of Greece
from the restoration of
George II
in 1936 to 1973, when the kingdom was replaced by the modern Greek state. The
escutcheon
depicts the arms of the
House of Glücksburg
, imposed on the
white cross on a blue field
of Greece, with two depictions of
Hercules
that act as heraldic supporters. Around the shield is the cross and ribbon of the
Order of the Redeemer
. The motto at the bottom reads: "Ἰσχύς μου ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ λαοῦ" ("The people's love, my strength").
