Origin/meaning
The arms are composed of a red field on which is displayed a gold cross of "The Faith," to signify the name of the See city, "Holy Faith". The upper left quarter shows a tower triple towered, of Castile (referring to Spain).
Issuant from the base are the crossed arms of Christ and St. Francis of Assisi, a classic representation of St.Francis, to honor the titular of the Cathedral in the City of Santa Fe.
The red and gold are traditional Spanish colors, signifying that the area around Santa Fe was, for a long time, a Spanish Colony.
The archdiocesan coat of arms were originally designed by the herbalist Pierre Chaignon de la Rose in 1920 at the request of Archbishop Daeger. The original colors were red and gold. That design was changed to make the crossed arms of Christ and St. Francis in their proper colors in 1998, after Archbishop Sheehan arrived in 1993.
The arms of the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi are based on the diocesan arms:
