Arms (crest) of Pavel Konzbul

Official blazon

Z červeného návrší v patě stříbrného štítu vyrůstá červený heroldský kříž s povýšeným břevnem. Na kříži je položen vztyčený meč se stříbrnou čepelí a zlatým jilcem, provázený na břevně kříže zlatými majuskulními písmeny „alfa“ a „omega“. Za štítem latinský kříž. Deviza: VIA VERITAS VITA. Vše převýšeno biskupským kloboukem.

Origin/meaning

The sword is a symbol of St. Paul, the personal patron of the bishop. The letters alpha and omega symbolise Revelation 21:6 ("I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End."). The colours are derived from the arms of Brno where the bishop was born. The motto "Via, veritas, vita" is from John 14:6 ("I am the way and the truth and the life."). The author of the arms is Jan Oulík.
