Coat of Arms of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Aberdeen T-Shirt - Design Description
This t-shirt showcases the official Coat of Arms of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Aberdeen, a striking emblem of faith and regional identity.
The Shield
The central design element is the heraldic shield, also known as the escutcheon. The shield's background is Azure (blue), providing a rich and regal base. Across the field is a distinctive heraldic fret, a geometric pattern composed of silver (white) elements. These elements are stylized to resemble salmon, a direct reference to the River Don and other rivers surrounding Aberdeen. This symbolizes both the region's geography and the Christian calling to "fish for people," echoing Jesus's message to his disciples to become fishers of souls.
External Ecclesiastical Insignia
Behind the shield, two significant ecclesiastical symbols are prominently displayed: the Episcopal Cross and the Crosier, both rendered in gold (Or), are crossed in saltire (X-shaped). These represent the Bishop's pastoral authority over the Diocese. Above the shield sits the Mitre Proper, a bishop's liturgical hat, signifying episcopal office and authority within the Catholic Church.
The Motto
Completing the design is a scroll placed beneath the shield, bearing the motto: “Together in Christ.” This phrase encapsulates the theme of unity and communion within the Diocese, expressing a shared faith and purpose.
The overall design seamlessly blends regional symbolism with Catholic ecclesiastical tradition, creating a powerful visual representation of the Diocese's identity and mission.
