Oh boy! Is FFH ever going to have himself a heyday with this!
I could probably come up with a pretty good LDS interpretation of this symbol, but it would be purely subjective.
I'd love to hear it Katz

Actually, I've always thought you were very thoughtful and reasonable -- for a Christian.That's very true (I bet you never thought I would actually agree with on something, did you?)

Just because you cheated us in the Cricket!
Well, Isaiah 2:2 says, "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it." We Latter-day Saints believe that the mountain of the Lord's house is the temple and that it stands today surrounded by mountains in the city thought of an Zions by the early Mormon pioneers. Isaiah 35:6 says, "Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert." Anyone who has ever been out West can tell you that Salt Lake City lies in the middle of a desert. Jesus Christ has often been referred to as the fountain of living waters. So when I first saw your symbol, I pictured the Salt Lake Temple, surrounded by high mountains, in the middle of the desert, but nourished by the fountain of living waters.I'd love to hear it Katz![]()

Check this out, from Wikipedia again:Triglav (lit. 'three headed') also sometimes called troglav is a god or complex of gods in Slavic mythology, similar in nature to the Trinity in Christianity or Trimurti in Hinduism. Often, he is considered to be the same deity as Troyan.
Triglav is a unity of three gods. The exact members of the triad vary by place and time. An early variation included Svarog, Perun, and Dajbog. Later, Dajbog was replaced by Svetovid or Veles. Triglav is usually described as a fusion of these gods. More rarely he is said to be their son. It may also be a unity of lesser gods (Lesser Triglav).
In one legend, Triglav is veiled completely, so holy that he cannot see the evil deeds of men. He rarely appears around mortals.
Triglav is depicted as a three-headed man sometimes with bands of (gold) blindfolds over his eyes, or a man with three goat heads. Several temples dedicated to Triglav existed near Szczecin, Poland. During the period of Christianization, these temples and statues of Triglav were completely destroyed.
Triglav's heads represent sky, earth and the Underworld. Some priests said that Triglav has three heads because he rules all three kingdoms (sky, earth and hell) and has a binding over his eyes so he could not see people's sins. His eyes are said to possess great power (that's why all eyes on his statues are covered).
Some hypothesize that Triglav, the highest mountain in Slovenia, was named after the god.
