The Luther Rose, also known as the Luther's Seal, is easily the most recognized symbol for Lutheranism, and for good reason. Martin Luther personally oversaw the creation of this symbol. It provides a beautiful summary of his faith, a faith that is common to all Christians, of every place and every time.

The black cross reminds us that faith in the Crucified One saves us.

The red heart reminds us that because of Christ's sacrifice we become fully alive and live purposeful lives.

The white rose reminds us that faith in Jesus' atoning sacrifice gives joy, comfort and peace. The believing heart rests on this joyouse rose as a reminder that faith does not give peace and joy like the world does. White is also the color or the spirits and the angels.

The blue background reminds us of the heavenly joy that begins when we are converted and which will be revealed fully in heaven.

The gold ring symbolizes the blessedness of heaven which lasts forever and has no end. It is to sought after beyonf all joy and goods, just as gold is the most valuable and precious and best metal.
