From the site of Ukrainian
Heraldry:
"In an azure shield with argent bordure is a or eight-beam
star with a gules double cross. The emblem adorned by or
decorative cartouche and crowned by an or rural crown. In
christianity the guiding star means the heavenly index, Divine
good fortune. As once the star has lead priests to the Christ
birthplace, and the Foresight has lead the first monks-settlers
in this district. A double cross is Christ monogram which unites
the image of a cross and the letter X in itself. In pre-christian
times the mark of a cross was known as a symbol of the Sun. Being
the image of spokes of a solar wheel, it symbolized light and
life. Argent border means an invisible wall which the God
protects village from darkness and evil. (<www.brovary-region.com.ua/silrada/silrada.htm>)."

village was re-found by Stepan Aksak."
