It's no secret that New Orleans is rife with the symbol of the fleur-de-lis, adorning wrought iron fences around the city, present on almost good every tourist souvenir, and of course emblazoned on Saints helmets. But its history is more convoluted than we

often care to acknowledge. The fleur-de-lis (sometimes spelled fleur-de-lys) has associations reaching across the globe, from ancient Egypt and

Babylonia, to the Roman Catholic church and the French monarchy. Its representations have transformed over time, spanning from a symbol of purification and luxury to one of slavery and punishment. In order to truly understand the place the fleur-de-lis holds in New Orleans culture, we must first understand where it came from.
