ARCHDIOCESE OF MIAMI (Archidioecesis Miamiensis)
Country : United States
Denomination : Roman Catholic
Established : 1958
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The palmtree in gold bespeaks the territory of the archdiocese, where these trees grow plentifully and luxuriously, so much that is is practically a symbol of this area.
Blue field = the sky. The trees issue from a golden bars (beach?) between two silver crosses as emblems for Catholic Faith. The wvay bars in base signify that the diocese is encompassed by water.
