Escudo de Francisco José Prieto Fernández Hoodie - Design Details
This hoodie showcases the intricate coat of arms of Francisco José Prieto Fernández, the Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela. The design is a powerful visual statement reflecting his spiritual identity and mission.
The Heraldic Fields
The central artwork is the shield, divided into three distinct sections, each holding significant symbolism:
- Upper Field: Set against a blue backdrop, this area features an open book inscribed with the Greek letters Alpha and Omega, representing Christ as the beginning and the end. Below this, the intertwined "A" and "M" monogram signifies the Virgin Mary, echoing the "Ave Maria" greeting.
- Lower Left Field: Presented on a silver (argent) field, this section depicts Saint Martin of Tours, the patron saint of the Diocese of Ourense. The scene portrays Saint Martin sharing his cloak with a beggar, an act of charity and compassion.
- Lower Right Field: Also on a silver (argent) background, this area showcases an urn symbolizing the tomb of the Apostle Saint James. Above the urn, an eight-pointed star stands out against a starry sky, a reference to the famous Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route.
Additional Embellishments
The shield is crowned by an Archbishop's mitre and flanked by two green tassel cords, which are characteristic elements of the episcopal rank. The design was crafted by the heraldic artist Macucal.
The Motto
Adding a final touch, the coat of arms incorporates the motto: “Sequi Salvatorem participare est salutem”, which is a quote from Saint Irenaeus of Lyon, meaning "To follow the Savior is to participate in salvation." The motto underlines the Archbishop’s dedication to promoting Christian discipleship.
