Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento - Sacramento, CA - Coats of Arms on Waymarking.com

"The arms of the Diocese of Sacramento are composed of a blue field with gold that appears to be draped from the top of the design. This appearance, combined with the gold chalice and corporal, reminds us of the Blessed Sacrament in a tabernacle representing the name of the See City of the diocese, Sacramento. Gold is the color of liturgical feasts celebrating the divinity of Our Lord and blue is the time-honored color of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who carried the Divine Child in the tabernacle of her womb. The gold color further reminds us of the foundations of the Diocese of Sacramento, established in the midst of the Northern California Mother Lode, by the first Bishop of Sacramento, Patrick Manogue, himself originally a pioneer gold miner. These arms of the Diocese, while simple, are replete with significance."
