===Official blazon=== | ===Official blazon=== | ||
Argent, three bars wavy azure, in fess point a crown or, on the first bar a Cherokee Rose proper. | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The Atlantic Ocean is represented on the shield by white and blue wavy bars, being the waves of the sea, seven for the Seven Sacraments. | |||
The Crown of Christ the King denotes the title of the cathedral. The rose is the Cherokee rose, the State flower of Georgia (''Rosa laevigata''), as befits a diocese located in the Capital City. This rose is white with a yellow centre. The crown of Christ the King has also the secondary representation of the crown of George II, King of England after whom Georgia was named. | |||
The blue and white wavy bends may as well symbolize the rolling foot hills of the Blue Ridge Country, but more important, they are the colors of the Blessed Mother. | |||
