key

The key is a symbol of knowledge and of guardianship. Two keys crossed in saltire is the emblem of St. Peter who held the keys to the gates of heaven, and this emblem is part of the insignia of His Holiness the Pope. They occur in many ecclesiastical coats of arms but also in the arms of regular families.
