ARCHIEPISCOPALIAN CORPORATION OF REGINA
Denomination : Episcopalian
Official blazon
Or the figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary proper vested Azure crowned Or sejant affronty on a chair graded proper and supporting with her dexter hand the Christ Child proper vested Argent, both figures nimbed and together holding a rosary Or, on a chapé Azure two garbs Or;
Origin/meaning :
The arms were granted on November 20, 2009.
The seated figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary holding the child Jesus and giving the Rosary appeared on a coat of arms design used by the Archdiocese shortly after its creation as a diocese in 1910. This indicates that the Patroness of the Archdiocese is Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. Blue is a colour associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the sheaves of wheat make a reference to Saskatchewan.
