Sugestão de Selo da Paróquia Sagrada Família de Belém (Brazil) (Coat of Arms) Hoodie - Design Description
This hoodie showcases a striking design based on the "Sugestão de Selo da Paróquia Sagrada Família de Belém," a proposed heraldic emblem for the Holy Family Parish in Belém, Brazil. The artwork presents a simplified, monochromatic adaptation of the original, making it ideal for various promotional and merchandising applications.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The central element is a shield following the Portuguese style, divided into two sections. The top half, rendered in a solid color, features the golden letters "IHS," a Christogram, with the "H" surmounted by a Jesuit-style cross. This symbolizes Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christian faith.
The lower half presents two golden emblems on the same colored background: a fleur-de-lis, representing the Virgin Mary and purity; and a six-pointed star, often associated with the Epiphany and the guidance of the Magi.
Beneath the shield, intertwined silver wedding rings symbolize the Holy Family's unity. This element rests upon a golden cross adorned with five red bezants, one at the center and one on each arm. The bezants often represent the wounds of Christ, adding another layer of religious symbolism.
A silver scroll, placed below the shield, carries the inscriptions "Paróquia Sagrada Família" and the date "11.03.1989," commemorating the parish's canonical erection. This establishes the context and identity of the design.
The overall design offers a simplified yet impactful representation of the parish's identity and core values, making it visually recognizable and meaningful.
