The sun, the source of light, life and energy, emits seven rays from the center of the seal. The rays represent the seven prismatic colors and point toward the sides of the heptagon from which seven triangles emerge. Each triangle signifies the triadic relationship–conception, growth and regeneration–in man and nature. The heptagon links the seven continents of the globe, suggesting the universal basis of the fellowship of humanity. |
