Origin/meaning

The Chief in the personal Arms of Archbishop Lyke symbolises his membership in the Order of Franciscans (OFM). The colours red, black and green symbolises the African Roots of the Archbishop. The golden cross symbolises the Mystery of the Church and also alludes to the Golden Cross in the arms of Pope St Johannes Paulus II. The Red Cross symbolises that the Colour Red is the Academical Colours for Theology, a special interest of the Archbishop. The Chaplet in the first quarter of the Cross symbolises St Fracis of Assisi.

The motto translates as "Christ - Peace".
