Coat of arms
 |
The coat
of arms, which has an Indian look and content, is inspired
by the priest Vincent Michael Concessao has been and the priest
and bishop he hopes to be. He is the earthenware diya (lamp),
a poor man's light for God. His mission and aspirations are
the flame. His sacrifice is to be inferred from the oil that
burns out as it helps give light to others. Archbishop Vincent is placed in the realities of the world around him, which is represented by the globe. It is a broken world, yet is a mysterious way held together by a cross symbol. The cross symbol itself is like a path going in four directions and going around the globe. The four paths also represents the four gospels, which contain the message of the Kingdom for the four Corners of the world. His motto " To BEAR WITNESS TO THE LORD" naturally has both the outward and circular movement. |
