Archdiocese of Santa Fe - Santa Fe, NM - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

"By heraldic tradition, the arms of an archbishop, (impaled) with the arms of his jurisdiction, seen in the dexter impalement (left side) of the shield, in this case the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. These arms are composed of a red field (background) on which is displayed a gold (yellow) cross, of “The Faith,” to signify the name of the See City, “Holy Faith.” In the upper left quarter, that is created by the cross, is a tower triple-towered, of Castile (Spain). Issuing from the base of these arms are the crossed arms of Christ and St. Francis of Assisi, a classic representation of Saint Francis, to honor the titular of the Cathedral in the See City and also the Franciscan Missionaries who first evangelized in this area. All these arms are rendered in red and gold (yellow) which are traditional Spanish colors, signifying that the area around Santa Fe was, for a long time, a Spanish Colony." (visit link)
