Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 8, 1993.

The arms combine the three small crosses from the arms of the city of Breda, with a fleur-de-lys, symbol of St. Mary, the patron saint of the diocese.

From the 19th century until the 1990s the diocese used as arms a shield with St. Mary and the three crosses. Only in 1993 the saint was replaced by her symbol.
