The Shield of the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy

Volorik, I was hoping you might tell me where you obtained this image. Since it appears that you are granting the copyright, I'm assuming that you created it, but where and how did you determine its authenticity. I've been attempting to research the "Mercy Shield", which was formerly used by the "Sisters of Mercy", as adopted by the Irish Catherine McAuley in 1831. However, they no longer use this standard, though many Catholic schools affiliated with this order use a seal that has incorporated its elements. Of the two images I have found that claim to be THE "Mercy Shield" one low-quality gif I have found, attributed to the Sisters of Mercy, describes itself as using a "Maltese Cross", when the image is clearly using a "Cross Formée". The other image, a scan of a black-and-white illustration scanned from an old Catholic encyclopedia, uses the "Formé Pattée", but also refers to this as a "Maltese Cross". Your image uses the "Cross Pattée". I'm trying to find what the the authentic cross form is for McAuley's "Mercy Shield", and if it is the same cross form as that used by the "Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mercy". Actually, I can't even find a reference to when and how the "Fess gules with cross argent" was added to James of Aragon's "Or, four pallet gules". Any clue? -nathangsm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathangsm (talk • contribs) 13:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
