===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The blue and argent of the main part honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, in her title of Immaculate Conception, Patroness of the USA. The blue field is a canting element for the first mission established at which is now El Paso, which was called ´Ysleta´ Spanish for ¨Little Island¨. The wavy border also represents the Rio Grande river, at which El Paso is a border city with Ciudad Juarez. Chihuahua, Mexico. | |||
[[ | The two piles argent signify the two hills that form the ´pass¨ (El Paso) for which the city is named. Each of the piles is ornamented by a trefoil to honor the patron saint of the cathedral in El Paso, Saint Patrick (from Ireland, trefoils being a symbol for Ireland). | ||
The star represents the Texas Lone Star as well as the North Star, because the city was formerly know as El Paso del Norte. | |||
The anchor is -in changed colors- taken from the arms of pope St. [[Pius X]], who established the diocese of El Paso in 1914. | |||
