Arms of the Diocese of SaskatoonBlazonAzure three barrulets wavy Argent between in chief a branch of willow fructed between two garbs and in base a Paschal lamb Or, on a chief Argent semé-de-lis Azure a cross Gules thereon a pallium Argent fringed Or charged with four crosses patté fitché Sable; SymbolismThe Canadian Heraldic Authority does not have confirmed symbolism for this emblem. The following comments are hypotheses only. The red cross, known as the cross of St. George, appears in the arms of the Anglican Church of Canada (previously known as the Church of England in Canada), and the pallium is possibly taken from the arms of the Diocese of Canterbury in England, the original diocese of the Anglican Communion. The garbs of wheat possibly symbolize Saskatchewan, and the willow branch, the Saskatoon bush. |
