Origin/meaning
The First Field is the Diocesean Arms of Visby. The Second and Third Field is the Bishop's Personal Arms and allude to the Motto taken from Luke 5:4. The Verse talls Us about the Disciples that had been out fishing all night without catching any Fish. They are tired and retuns to land, where they are told by Jesus to return once more to the Sea, and now they catch plenty of Fish. Peter then in awe tells Jesus to leave. Instead the later tells Peter and the Others to join Him and become Fishers of Men. The Fish and Net also refers to Visby on the Island of Gotland. The Fourth Field show the Symbol of the Church of Sweden Abroad, for which the Bishop of Visby is Supervisor.
