===Official blazon===
===Origin/meaning===
The arms of the Parish of St. Helier show two crossed axes on a blue background. Helier (in Latin:Helerius) was born in [[Tongeren]] in Belgium, probably between 510 and 520 AD. He probably arrived in Jersey around 535 - 545 AD. He was martyred in approximately 550-560 AD. He died during a Viking raid by decapitation. Hence the axe as his symbol.
