Today we mark International Heraldry Day, a modest occasion perhaps, yet one of quiet significance for those who care for the symbols that preserve honour, lineage, and civic identity.

Heraldry is not simply decorative. It is a visual language that conveys belonging, duty, and memory. In Kaharagia, our armorial customs give expression to the character of our people and the continuity of our sovereign institutions. They remind us that tradition, when rightly understood, is not a relic but a living thread.

To all who uphold the study and stewardship of heraldry, whether through scholarship or artistry, I extend my sincere appreciation. Your work gives form to meaning and ensures that the stories carried on shields and banners are not lost to time.
