DIOCESE OF NATAL

Country : South Africa
Denomination : Anglican

Arms (crest) of Diocese of Natal

Official blazon

Azure, on a saltire a pastoral staff and a spear in saltire Gules, in chief a mullet of six points, Argent.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 30, 1952

The St Andrew’s Cross commemorates the founding of this Diocese with that of Grahamstown, on St Andrew’s Day 1853, while the star is in allusion to the Star of Bethlehem, as the Terra do Natal traditionally having been discovered by Vasco da Gama on Christmas Day 1497 while pioneering the sea route to the East.

The pastoral staff and spear were included by the College of Arms to difference the original assumed arms of the Diocese, which were not considered to be sufficiently distinctive in their original form.

The previous arms were adopted in 1893 and have been in use until 1952, but were never officially granted.
