BO GIERTZ

Born : August 31, 1905
Deceased : July 12, 1998

Bishop of Göteborg, 1949-1970

Arms of Bo Giertz

Official blazon

  • (personal quarter) I rott fält en uppslagen bok av silver med snitt av guld överlagd ett balkvis ställt svärd av silver med fäste av guld. Motto: Verbum crucis dei virtus

Origin/meaning

The arms quarter the arms of the Diocese with the personal arms of the bishop.

The arms refer to Giertz as a defender of God's and the Bible's Word, like the apostle Bonifatius, archbishop of Mainz, who was martyred in 755 with the book of the Gospels over his head. St. Boniface in Swedish is Bo.

The motto means Strength is the word of the cross of god.
