ELLIOT GRIFFIN THOMAS
Born : July 15, 1926
Deceased :
Bishop of Saint Thomas, 1993-1999
Official blazon
Impaled Arms: On the dexter for the Diocese of Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands; Azure, seme of mullets Argent, a sword pointed to the chief over all two keys in saltire Or, all behind bordure wavy of the second. On the siniste; for Bishop Thomas; Gyronny of eight Or and Vert a cross moline fitchy quadrate Gules charged with a rose Argent.
Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The green and golden colors of the shield symbolize the academic achievements and career of the bishop in fields of pharmacy, science and business. The division and colours also symbolise the diversity of the Caribbean Islands and the heritage of the bishop.
I have no further information on the other elements of the arms.
