Tryzub

I left my green beanie hat at PG's last week, so I must remember to pick it up today.

I didn't miss it because J (Icons passim) flew over from Norway after he got back from his mercy mission to Ukraine to see Renu.

When I met up with them he gave me a dark green beanie had with a discreet black tryzub on the front that he brought back from Kyiv Or Lviv. The tryzub is the coat of arms of Ukraine, so I have been proudly sporting that.

I can always pick up the other hat of mine you have next time I am picking something else up. There is no rush.

The coat of arms of Ukraine is a blue shield with a gold trident. Officially referred to as the Emblem of the Royal State of Volodymyr the Great, or, colloquially, the tryzub (Ukrainian: тризуб, "trident"), the insignia derives from the seal-trident of Volodymyr the Great, the first Grand Prince of Kyiv.
