What our logo says
The central cross, inspired by the cross of the Swiss flag, is joined to the glorious Eastern cross, symbol of the faith of the Chaldean Church. The colour red recalls both Switzerland and the witness of a martyr Church, faithful to Christ throughout history.
The red rays express the light and the hope of the Gospel, while the battlements at the base evoke the ancient walls of Babylon, the historical cradle of the Chaldean Church.
The inscription in four languages, Chaldean, Arabic, French and German, manifests the richness of its heritage and its presence within multilingual Switzerland.
This logo thus symbolises the union between the age-old roots of the Chaldean Church and its rootedness in Switzerland.
Our warm thanks to Father Douglas Bazi, priest of the Chaldean Church in New Zealand, for designing this logo, which expresses with simplicity and depth the identity of the Chaldean Church in Switzerland.
