Swedish heraldry
Okay kiddo, do you know what a symbol is? It's like a picture that represents something else, like a heart means love. Well, a long time ago in Sweden, important families or groups wanted to have their own special symbols to represent them. This is called heraldry.
In Swedish heraldry, these symbols are usually on a shield or a flag and they can have different colors and designs. They can be animals like lions, or birds or even plants.
The different design elements like colors and shapes are like a secret code that can help show someone's family history.
