Origin/meaning
The saltire is the symbol of St. Andrew (Andreas), the patron saint of the bishop, and at the same time refers to Amsterdam where he was born. The sun and soil are canting, sol meaning sun in Latin and soil in French. The wheat refers the sowing of the grain to evangelise the people of Indinesia. To make a bread out of many grains is also expressed in the motto.
