NAPS coat of arms

Coat of arms

Blue coat of arms lined by golden thread with crossed attributes – the key and the sword – in the Andrew’s Cross accompanied by a double cross over the three hills, and the lilis along side – all gold. Below the shield lies a blue, gold-lined ribbon with the text „Institutum NAPS.“

The individual attributes of the coat of arms resemble the patrons of the NAPS Institute. The double cross on the three hills is also a reference to the Slovak state emblem and the name of the institute „… For Slovakia.“ Three lilies are also a symbolic reminder of the fact that three members of the NAPS Board are in the leadership of the organization whose mission is to work with „aim pure as the same sa lily.“
