Coat of Arms of a Catholic Bishop - Symbolism and Meaning #3512764 (License: Personal Use)

This episcopal coat of arms displays traditional heraldic elements: a blue field bearing the Virgin Mary crowned and holding the Christ Child above clouds, symbolizing divine protection and Marian devotion. Below, a brown church with domes and brick base represents the diocese or cathedral, while the green galero with six tassels on each side denotes the rank of bishop. The motto “TUUS SUM EGO” (“I am yours”) reflects total consecration to God and the Church.

Used on official diocesan websites, Vatican publications, liturgical documents, and bishop profiles; serves users seeking ecclesiastical heraldry, Catholic symbolism, or information about a specific bishop or diocese.
