Fourth Degree Emblem
The Triad Emblem of the Fourth Degree of the Knights of Columbus features:
- the Dove
- the Cross
- the Globe
The Dove, the classic symbol of the Holy Spirit and Peace, is shown hovering over the
Globe surmounted by a Cross.
Our Honored Order cherishes as its patron Christopher Columbus.
Spiritually, the sacred symbols on the emblem typify the Union of the Three Divine
Persons in one Godhead...the most blessed Trinity.
- The Globe... God the Father, Creator of the Universe
- The Cross...God the Son, Redeemer of Mankind
- The Dove...God the Holy Spirit, Sanctifier of Humanity
Fourth Degree Emblem Colors
A Blue Globe with the lands of the Western Hemisphere in White
A Red Cross with gold borders, and gold knobs at the ends of the Cross
A White Dove.
Red, White, and Blue are the colors of the flag of the country in which our Order
originated; and are used to stress the basic principle of the Fourth Degree, Patriotism.
