The
heart with the roses issuing therefrom is a very old symbol, appearing frequently in our folk traditions and early linguistic records as the representation of love, relatedness, of being worried about others and of making sacrifices for them. All this becomes the people of Csongrád, as proven by Gedehalom, the tomb of the "Avar Romeo and Juliet", and the firmness shown in the fights for independence.
The
blooming rose on the one hand expresses that the settlement has permanently been inhabited since the Neolithic age up to the present day, while the other hand it symbolizes that despite repeated destruction, Csongrád always revived and prospered with an unbroken will to live. In addition, the rose also means that the local people were always ready to make sacrifices for God, their homeland and the King.
The
seven rose petals are the reminders of our ancestors who conquered this land. One of them was the chief Ond, whose son Ete gathered many Slavs and, according to the chroncler Anonymus, 'had a very strong earthwork built, which the Slavs called in their language Csongrád, that is black castle'.
The
dove symbolizes the family, the local community and the abundance that arises from it. In addition, since the dove looks to the dexter side, it may also express faith in the future. According to biblical tradition, Noah's dove is the example of reconciliation, peacefulness and the relatedness of honest people.
