Twenty-five Wyoming Goldback – Fideletas (Loyalty)

In the Wyoming 25 Goldback Denomination, we encounter Fideletas, representing Loyalty, portrayed as a dedicated Wyoming ranch girl eagerly awaiting her groom’s arrival for their wedding. The majestic Grand Teton Mountains, coupled with the historic Episcopal Chapel of the Transfiguration (established in 1925 within the Grand Teton National Park), form her striking background.

Fideletas’ representation is inspired by the parable of the ten virgins from the Gospel of Matthew. This narrative underscores the significance of preparation and anticipatory actions, drawing a parallel to acts driven by loyalty. True loyalty embodies not just allegiance, but also readiness to act when the situation demands. Embodying this essence, Fideletas is portrayed perched on a wooden fence, adorned in modest wedding attire with a bridal wreath. She clutches a glowing oil lamp in one hand, with a vessel of oil in the other, while the words “Faithful to the End” elegantly underscore her image.

Her trusted cattle dog sits loyally at her feet, beside a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine, and a small bowl of spilling salt. These items resonate with profound Christian interpretations, symbolizing unwavering loyalty offered to and reciprocated by Jesus Christ. Behind her, a cow stands as a testament to the abundance and blessings that flow from steadfast loyalty. In the design’s forefront, ripe wheat awaits harvest, ready to be distinguished from the undesired tares. This imagery underscores the fruits borne of loyal deeds and the inevitable separation of the steadfast from the unfaithful.
