Escudo de Dimas Lara Barbosa (Spain) Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases the intricately designed coat of arms of Dom Dimas Lara Barbosa, the Brazilian Archbishop of Campo Grande. The artwork is a vibrant representation of his spiritual mission and dedication to service, crafted by the heraldist Macucal.
Visual Elements and Symbolism
The central element of the design is the shield, composed of several significant components:
- Field of Gold: The background of the shield is rendered in gold, a radiant color symbolizing the light descending from heaven. It represents the Archbishop's generosity and joy in his pastoral service. Gold also alludes to the sun, Sunday, and July, the month of his birth.
- Gomil of Gules: A prominent feature is a red vessel (gules) pouring a flowing stream of azure (blue) water. This imagery references the "Washing of the Feet" episode, a powerful symbol of humility and service. The red embodies the fire of charity and courage, while the blue represents justice and serenity.
- Azure Cortinado: A blue division (cortinado) displays three golden wheat ears on the right, symbolizing the Holy Trinity and the Eucharist. On the left, a purple grape cluster with sinople (green) leaves represents the consecrated wine of the Mass. The green leaves further convey hope and abundance.
- Golden Cross: A golden cross is positioned at the base of the shield, representing the Archbishop's episcopal dignity and spiritual authority.
- Ecclesiastical Hat and Tassels: Above the shield is a green ecclesiastical hat adorned with six tassels on each side, denoting the Archbishop's high rank.
- Motto Scroll: A golden scroll rests beneath the shield, inscribed in blue lettering with the motto "SERVIRE IN LÆTITIA," meaning "Serve with Joy." This motto underscores the Archbishop's commitment to joyful and dedicated service to the people of God.
The design, as a whole, is a powerful visual expression of faith, humility, and the Archbishop's commitment to serving with joy.
