ÁGUAS DE LINDOIA
State : São Paulo
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on December 8, 1972.
The golden field symbolises the wealth of the municipality, broought by the thermal and medicinal waters. The latter are represented by the fountains in the arms. The fleur-de-lis is the symbol of the St. Mary, patron saint of the town. The blue cross alludes to Father Tozzi, a priest, who insisted on scientific research on the healing properties of the waters. The supporters are an indian girl, Lindoia, who gave her name to the town, and a settler dressed as the first inhabitants of the area.
