MARIBOR
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The above arms were adopted on November 30, 1995.
The design of the arms dates from medieval times. Already on the 14th century seal of the city (see image below) the arms show a castle and a downward-ponted flying dove. The basic idea has not changed since, but during the centuries many different varaitions on the composition have been seen.
The dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit and was added in the seal around 1300 as a reference to the Cathedral devoted to St. John Baptist, erected in 1248. The Holy Spiit appeared when Jezus was baptised by St. John Baptist.
