• The golden Trefoil on a bright blue background represents the sun shining over all the children of the world
• The three leaves represent the three-fold Promise
• The base of the stalk represents the flame of the love of humanity
• The vein pointing upwards through the centre of the Trefoil represents the compass needle pointing the way
• The two stars represent the Promise and Law

The World Flag incorporate the Trefoil

• A white blaze in the lower, right-hand corner represents peace
