This ecclesiastical coat of arms displays a red shield bearing a golden chalice with host (host marked by a red cross), flanked by wheat stalks and grape clusters-representing the Body and Blood of Christ. Above the shield sits a papal tiara and crossed keys (symbolizing St. Peter’s authority), while the Latin motto “TU ADJUTOR FORTIS” (“You are my strong helper”) appears on a red ribbon below. The tassels (10 on each side) indicate episcopal or archiepiscopal rank.
