Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Portugal - Brasões dos municípios portugueses |
|
LIJÓ
Municipality : Barcelos
District : Braga
Official blazon:
Escudo de verde, com um cesto de ouro entre duas macetas de prata, encabadas do mesmo, realçadas de negro e alinhadas em faixa; em chefe, um círculo de prata carregado com uma cruz de negro e, em campanha, uma fonte heráldica. Coroa mural de prata de três torres. Listel branco com a legenda a negro “ LIJÓ - BARCELOS “.
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on October 23, 1998.
The circle with the cross reminds of the Chapel of Santa Cruz (Holy Cross), where every pilgrim on the road to Santiago de la Compostela had to draw a cross on the floor.
The basket and the two flower pots are symbola of the local handicrafts, basket making and pottery. During the centuries many great potters lived in the parish. The heraldic fountain in the base represents the Lombão river. The green shield symbolises the green fields and the agriculture in the parish.
