De gueules à trois lions d'argent, armés, lampassés et couronnés d'or.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 24, 1912.

The arms are based on the old seals of the village, known since the 16^th century. All seals show the three lions of the estate of Lens, which, in turn, are derived from the oldest Lords of Lens, the Gavere family. Masnuy-Saint-Jean historically belonged to the estate of Lens, and was later separated.

The arms in the Koffie Hag/Café Hag albums +/- 1930

Literature: Servais, 1955
