Luther Rose Symbol - Meaning and History of the Lutheran Seal #3521280 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts the Luther Rose, a circular emblem designed by Martin Luther in 1530. At its center is a white cross within a red heart, surrounded by a black rose on a white field, all enclosed in a blue ring. Each element signifies key theological concepts: the cross for Christ’s sacrifice, the heart for faith, the rose for joy and hope, and the ring for eternal life.

Used in Lutheran churches, educational materials, and theological resources to represent Lutheran identity and doctrine; ideal for pages about Reformation history, sacramental theology, or religious symbolism.
