===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The eagle is the symbol of victory recalling Bishop Behan's family name, or in its Irish spelling "Buadhachain" meaning "victorious". The eagle holding the serpent in its talon is symbolic of the victory of Christ over evil and thus represents salvation, redemption and resurrection. | |||
The white rose is for "York" the original name for [[Toronto]] for whom Archbishop Bohan was first named Auxiliary Bishop. In Christian prayer, Mary is praised as the "Mystical Rose", the symbol of graced fertility of whom Christ was born into the world. | |||
[[ | The harp symbolizes [[Ireland]] the country of origin of the Bohan family before its immigration to Canada in the early 19th century. In Christian symbolism, the harp represents all music played to the glory of God. | ||
The wheat sheaf is taken from the arms of the province of [[Saskatchewan]], where [[Regina]] is located. The galley is taken from the arms of the province of [[New Brunswick]], Bishop Bohan's home province. The full sail and billowing flags indicate that this heraldic ship, like the Church, is driven by the winds of the Holy Spirit. The oars tell of the human work it takes to navigate the ship. | |||
