Coat of Arms of the Diocese of Dunkeld Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases the officially registered Coat of Arms of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dunkeld in Scotland, a symbol rich in religious and historical significance. The design centers around the heraldic shield, a formal emblem granted by the Heraldic Society of Scotland in 1990.
Shield Layout and Color Palette
The shield's background, known as the field, is a deep Purpure, the heraldic term for purple. This color choice, steeped in tradition, represents royalty, dignity, and often penitence within ecclesiastical heraldry.
Central Symbols and Their Meanings
At the heart of the design lies an open book, rendered in Argent (silver) with gold binding and fore-edges. The open book symbolizes Scripture and the importance of the written word in the Catholic faith. Superimposed upon the book is a poignant visual narrative of faith and sacrifice.
Piercing through a red heart (Gules) are three passion nails. These nails, used in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, represent his redemptive suffering, a cornerstone of Christian belief. The red heart symbolizes the sacred heart of Jesus, reflecting love, compassion, and divine sacrifice.
Overall Message
The combined elements of the shield create a powerful statement of faith, heritage, and mission. It is a visual testament to Scripture, the Passion of Christ, and the spiritual identity of the Diocese of Dunkeld. The design is a representation of the Diocese's history and its dedication to the Catholic faith.
