DIOCESE OF BREDA (Dioecesis Bredana)

Country : Netherlands
Denomination : Roman Catholic

Established : 1803 as Apostolic vicariate of Breda
Elevated to diocese of Breda in 1853

Official blazon

In keel een lelie, vergezeld van drie schuinkruisjes, alles van zilver. Het schild gedekt met een gouden, met edelstenen bezette mijter, waarvan ter weerszijde van het schild twee gouden, van keel gevoerde linten met gouden franje afhangen, de uiteinden beladen met een breedarmig kruisje van keel; achter het schild schuingekruist, een gouden kromstaf, de krul naar buiten gericht, en een gouden, met edelstenen bezet kruis met lelievormige uiteinden.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 8, 1993.

The arms combine the three small crosses from the arms of the city of Breda, with a fleur-de-lys, symbol of St. Mary, the patron saint of the diocese.

From the 19th century until the 1990s the diocese used as arms a shield with St. Mary and the three crosses. Only in 1993 the saint was replaced by her symbol.
