Summary
Description Coat of arms of the Diocese of Fairbanks.svg |
English:
Coat of arms of the Diocese of Fairbanks. At the base, the North Star is suspended on a blue field over the mountains of Alaska, which appear in white. In the upper section, between two red roses on a field of gold, is the Sacred Heart of Jesus, titular symbol of the Cathedral of the diocese. This commemorates the consecration of Alaska to the Sacred Heart on Easter Sunday 1874 by the late Archbishop Seghers of Victoria, which then included the territory of Alaska. The roses, representing St. Therese of Lisieux, patroness of the Alaska Missions, recall her promise, “After my death I will let fall a shower of roses.”
