The final component of the Bishop's shield is the palm frond across the middle. This honors St. Stephen, who is both the patron of the Bishop and honors the date of his parents' reception of the sacrament of matrimony on December 26, the Feast of St. Stephen. The palm itself is a symbol of martyrdom, hence used to represent St. Stephen, the first martyr for the Church. | The final component of the Bishop's shield is the palm frond across the middle.
