The shield shows a large gold cross as the central figure. The Latin cross fleury is displayed in honor of the French origin of the city of St. Louis. This cross is replete with significance; the French missionaires; the penance, fasting, and heroic sanctity of Louis IX of France, saint and King; a commemoration of the true Crown of Thorns and a portion of the Cross of Calvary in Jerusalem, and their reservation in St. Chapelle in Paris; the two crusades of St. Louis.
 
The crown fleury represents Louis IX as King, rather than as saint.
 
The tinctures, blue and gold, are those of the arms of Pope [[Leo XII]] who established the diocese. A crown is also present in his arms. Gold and blue are also the Royal colours of France.
 
The bar wavy, of course symbolises the Mississippi river.
 
The small silver crescent has a double significance. It is taken from the Seal of [[Missouri]], and also represents St. Mary, patroness of the United States under the title of the Immaculate Conception.

Origin/meaning

The shield shows a large gold cross as the central figure. The Latin cross fleury is displayed in honor of the French origin of the city of St. Louis. This cross is replete with significance; the French missionaires; the penance, fasting, and heroic sanctity of Louis IX of France, saint and King; a commemoration of the true Crown of Thorns and a portion of the Cross of Calvary in Jerusalem, and their reservation in St. Chapelle in Paris; the two crusades of St. Louis.

The crown fleury represents Louis IX as King, rather than as saint.

The tinctures, blue and gold, are those of the arms of Pope Leo XII who established the diocese. A crown is also present in his arms. Gold and blue are also the Royal colours of France.

The bar wavy, of course symbolises the Mississippi river.

The small silver crescent has a double significance. It is taken from the Seal of Missouri, and also represents St. Mary, patroness of the United States under the title of the Immaculate Conception.
