Official Coat of Arms of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco #1499886 (License: Personal Use)

This ornate coat of arms features a golden mitre atop a quartered shield: the upper left shows the Alamo mission symbolizing the diocese’s geographic base; the upper right displays a white star on blue, representing divine guidance. The lower quadrants contain two winged lions holding open books-symbols of the Evangelists Mark and Luke-flanking a central episcopal cross over a dove, signifying the Holy Spirit. A ribbon banner below bears the Greek motto “Πάντα Δυνατὰ τῷ Πιστεύοντι” (“All things are possible to him who believes”).
