The Armiger is an
Orthodox Deacon and Catechism Teacher from Belgrade – Serbia; The
Herald of The Princely Branch of The Serbian Royal Family
Karageorgevich; Heraldry Consultant and Consultants Team Member of The
Fórum Democracia Real; Managing Director of The Center for Research of
Orthodox Monarchism and President of it’s Board for Heraldic and
Genealogical Studes; Associate Fellow of the International Association
of Amateur Heralds; Associate of The Magazine “Glas Heralda”...
Arms were assumed by the Armiger’s father and other two heads of the
branches of the Jovanovich-Djakovatz-Popov Family in December 2004.
According the Serbian heraldic tradition, the same coat of arms is
used by all of the male descendants of the Jovanovich-Djakovatz-Popov
Family, who share a common ancestor - Very Reverend Protoprezbyter Fr
Djordje Jovanovich, who was the last in the centuries long line of
Priests from this Family.
The Cross Gules is a reminder of the Family Patron Saint – Great
Martyr George. The twenty-one Crosses paty convexed (commonly refered
to as The Kosovo Cross) symbolize as many ancestors who were Orthodox
Priests in the Parish of Nishka Kamenitza. The jewelled chalice Or in
the crest has the same significance, and also alludes both to Family
history and the calling of the Armiger.
The arms are registered in the name of Rev. Fr. Nenad M. Jovanovich,
and later on four additional versions were designed for his wife
Dipl.vet. Jasmina S. Jovanovich, his son
Djordje N. Jovanovich No75 and
his twin daughters Kosara N. Jovanovich and Ksenija N. Jovanovich. |

The Clerical version
of Armigers coat of arms was assumed following his ordination and
with the blessing and approval of His Eminent Grace Episcope of
Australia and New Zealand Lord Irinej (Dobrijevich). |
|
The Ecclesiastical
arms are in the correct tradition of a Deacon in the Orthodox
Church, using the shield from the family arms and surrounding it
with the orarion of a Deacon and toped off with the kamilavkion of
Deacon - his rank in the Clergy.
The original design
of the arms of Jovanovich-Djakovatz-Popov includes a helm and crest
which, although not used by the Armiger because he is a serving
Clergyman, is available for use by his heraldic heirs in perpetuity.
