Emblem

The shield of the Corps Saint Lazarus International (CSLI) is present in all the international and national symbols of the Lazarus Union. It identifies the holder as a Member or Volunteer of the national and international organization. The heraldic shield, of the Sannita type, marks those who perform active service in the Association. The green color, like the octagonal crosses, is a reference to the Order of Saint Lazarus, to its values and to the chivalrous tradition it represents. Gold is a symbol of the spiritual virtues of charity (one of the four principles of Lazarus Union) and of justice and the worldly qualities of happiness and nobility. Above the shield is written the word "CSLI" to indicate the acronym "Corps Saint Lazarus International".
