Is any significance to be read into the fact that the flag and arms
of Ďablice show a Christian cross over a Star of David, which is traditionally
a Jewish symbol. I ask this because the arms and flag of Ceske Tresov show
a medieval caricature of a Jew.
Ron Lahav, 10 Nov 2003
Cross above star is no symbol of victory over Jews or something. It
is a symbol of a Knightly Order of Bohemian origin. Ďáblice is a Part of
Prague (district Prague 8 I think).
Mr. Lahav mentioned Ceske Tresov - he meant Česka
Trebova, I suppose. Well, Trebova's Arms are a little mysterious.
It really shows a black rooster with Jewish head (a bearded head with yellow
hat). Official blason from 1980 gives only "a rooster with a bearded man's
head in a hat with a ball on the top of it." Similar head has a certain
Austrian (Styrian) town in its arms. It is called - Judenburg. So was it a Hebrew or not. In the second case it it quite obvious.
But I disagree that Ceska Trebova Coat of Arms is a caricature;
the real meaning of it is already lost in past. Ďáblice means She-Devil, in this case it is in
Plural. This word is not necesary a sign of hell in our language. It could
be (in certain specific circumstances) also very passionate women...

This is probably a pure coincidence but the French word "diabless"
seems to be related with "Ďáblice".
