===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
The arms quarter the arms of the Diocese with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The arms refer to Giertz as a defender of God's and the Bible's Word, like the apostle Bonifatius, archbishop of Mainz, who was martyred in 755 with the book of the Gospels over his head. St. Boniface in Swedish is Bo. | |||
The motto means '''Strength is the word of the cross of god'''. | |||
