Département : Rhône

Blason de Saint-Laurent-d'Agny

Official blazon

Écartelé: au 1er de sable à trois mains senestres appaumées de carnation, au 2e d'or au feu de gueules, au 3e d'azur au dextrochère d'argent mouvant du flanc senestre d'une nuée de même, tenant un couteau à pied d'argent emmanché de gueules posé en fasce, le tout surmonté d'un carrelet à dextre, et d'un tranchet à senestre emmanché d'or et accompagné de trois fleurs de lis d'or rangées en chef, au 4e d'or au senestrochère de carnation, mouvant de l'angle dextre du chef, vêtu de gueules et tenant une grappe de raisin tigée et feuillée, le tout au naturel.

Origin/meaning

The first quarter shows three hands, taken from the arms of the 14th century Lords of Saint-Laurent, who lived at the local castle. The second quarter shows a fire. It refers both to the fire on which the martyr Saint Lawrence was grilled to death, and to the fire in the village of 1364. The third quarter shows the arms of the shoemaker's guild of Lyon, as many villagers worked as shoemakers in the city in historical times. The fourth quarter shows the hand of St. Vincent, patron saint of vintners and symbolises the importance of viticulture for the area.
