Additions : 1977 Betekom

Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 7, 1987.
The arms are a combination of the previous arms of Begijnendijk and the arms of Betekom. The black fleur-de-lys is taken from the arms of Betekem, but the supporter of Betekom was replaced bt St. Lucia, the patron saint of Begijnendijk.
The previous arms of Begijnendijk showed only the image of St. Lucia.
These arms were granted on April 7, 1819 and confirmed on October 19, 1840.
The colours are the Dutch national colours, as in 1813 the mayor applied without indicating the colours. The arms were thus granted in the national colours. When the arms were confirmed after the Belgian independence, the colours were not changed.
