Symbolism
Arms
This is the coat of arms generally known in the Polish armorial tradition as Sas, to which Mr. Łucki is entitled by descent.
Crest
This crest is traditionally borne with the Sas arms.
Motto
This Polish phrase, meaning “I lift up my eyes”, is taken from Psalm 121:1: “I lift up my eyes to the mountains; where does my help come from?” It alludes to Mr. Łucki’s love of walking in the mountains, to his view of life as a pilgrimage, to his trust in Divine Providence, as well as to the role of his ancestors in defending the Carpathian foothills that formed the southeastern border of Poland.
