![[Flag of Dablice]](../images/c/cz-ab-da.gif)
by Blas Delgado Ortiz, 10 May 2001, after image by Petr Exner
Is any significance to be read into the fact that the flag and arms
of Dablice show a Christian cross over a Star of David, which is traditionally
a Jewish symbol. I ask this because the arms and flag of Ceske Tresov show
a medieval caricature of a Jew.

Cross above star is no symbol of victory over Jews or something. It
is a symbol of a Knigtly Order of Bohemian origin. Dablice is a Part of
Prague (district Prague 8 I think).
Mr. Lahav mentioned Ceske Tresov - he meat Česka
Trebova, I suppose. Well, Trebova´s Arms are a little mysterious.
It really shows a black rooster with Jewish head (a bearded head with yellow
hat). Official blason from 1980 gives only "a rooster with a bearded man´s
head in a hat with a ball on the top of it." Similar head has a certain
Austrian (Styrian) town in its arms. It is called - Judenburg.
So was it a Hebrew or not. In the second case it it quite obvious.
But I disagree that Ceska Trebova Coat of Arms is a caricature;
the real meaning of it is alerady lost in past.
Dablice (or rather Ďáblice) means She-Devil, in this case it is in
Plural. This word is not necesary a sign of hell in our language. It could
be (in certain specific circumstances) also very passioned women...

This is probably a pure coincidence but the French word "diabless"
seems to be related with "Dablice".
