Denomination : Roman Catholic
Established : 1847
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The beaver is taken from the coat of arms of the City of Albany. Albany was originally called Beverwyck, (Dutch for "Beaver Town") because the city was the exchange point of the inland fur trade. This symbol dates back to the 17th century.
The beaver grasps a pastoral staff, or crosier, to represent the rank of bishop. The crescent moon symbolizes the Blessed Virgin, who, under the title of the immaculate Conception, is the patroness of the Diocese. The lunar symbol is derived from the Apocalypse (Rev 12:1): "And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under her feet.
