Coat of Arms of Cardinal John Atcherley Dew T-Shirt Design
This t-shirt showcases the meticulously designed coat of arms of Cardinal John Atcherley Dew, Archbishop Emeritus of Wellington, New Zealand. The artwork is a visual embodiment of his ecclesiastical role and personal beliefs, offering a glimpse into the symbolism of his life's work.
The Shield
The central element, the shield, is a vibrant azure (blue) field. Dominating the shield is a striking gold (Or) representation of the letter "M," crowned with a golden crown. This symbolizes the Virgin Mary, a significant figure in Catholic faith, and reflects the Cardinal's devotion.
The Crest
Above the shield, the crest features a gold (Or) shepherd's crook. This is a powerful symbol of pastoral care and leadership, representing the Cardinal's role as a shepherd guiding his flock. The golden hue reinforces the importance and dignity of this office.
Supporting Elements
Two green (Vert) cords, each adorned with a tassel, flank the shield as supporters. These are traditional heraldic elements associated with the rank of a cardinal, highlighting his position within the Church. Beneath the shield, a scroll bearing the Cardinal's motto provides the visual final flourish.
The Motto
The motto, "Peace through Integrity," is prominently displayed on the scroll. This phrase, derived from Baruch 5:4, encapsulates the Cardinal's guiding principle and the foundation of his ministry.
