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

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. |
