ALEXANDRU CEL BUN

District/county (județ) : Neamț

Official blazon

Un scut triunghiular roșu cu marginile rotunjite, tăiat. În partea superioară se află un chef de contrahermină, încărcat, pe fond negru, cu un cap de bour auriu, flancat de o floare cu cinci petale și o lună în descreștere, ambele de aur. În partea inferioară, în câmp roșu, se află un stejar care are deasupra o stea cu cinci colțuri, ambele de aur. Scutul este timbrat de o coroană murală de argint cu un turn crenelat.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 30, 2019.

The ox-head contra-ermine chief marks the princely necropolis from the Bistrița Monastery with the tombs of Alexander the Good, Stephen II and Alexander Voievod, the son of Stephen the Great.

The oak and the five-pointed star are reminiscent of the vision of Saint Pious Joseph of the Churches who saw in an oak the Virgin Mary, who called this place "the Garden of the Mother of God".

The mural crown with a crenellated tower means that the locality has the rank of commune.
