The lowest section indicates the spiritual seat or ´cathedra´ of the diocese, the Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral. It is indicated by a celestial crown of gold on a red disc. We see the Holy Name IHS on the crown. The three red pentacostal tongues of fire on a silver field refer to the Church´s evangelical mission (Saint-Luke 12:49).
