esp: "La Congregación Cisterciense de Castilla surgió como un movimiento capaz de retornar a los monasterios el primitivo rigor y disciplina con una clara simbología plasmada en su heráldica. Este escudo ovalado con cartela superior grabada de 1689 y timbrado en corona. presenta cinco escudos de Órdenes Militares asociados al Cister Peninsular (Calatrava, Alcántara, Avis, Temple y San Jorge), así como una muestra de rica ornamentación aplicada con motivos geométricos vegetales entre leones rampantes: cruz floreteada, lacerias lobuladas, roleos. Completa esta labra el emblema de San Bernardo: doble banda de escaques y gules, mitra, flores de lis y báculo sostenido por el brazo del abad con cogulla. La relación histórica con el Monasterio de San Martin de Castañeda le otorga su razón de ser."
