Description

DETAILED (MULTILINGUAL) DESCRIPTION AT THE HOLY SEE WEBSITE: Coat of Arms of His Holiness Benedict XVI (The Holy See).

English: Coat of Arms of Benedictus XVI (color shades variant)
Deutsch: Der mit der bischöflichen Mitra gekrönte Schild ist in drei Felder geteilt, die spezielle heraldische Symbole tragen:
  • Links (heraldisch rechts) der "Freisinger Mohr" aus dem Wappen des Erzbistum München-Freising, wo Joseph Kardinal Ratzinger Erzbischof war.
  • Rechts (heraldisch links) der Bär des Hl. Korbinian, Schutzpatron des Bistums München-Freising, aus dem Freisinger Stadtwappen.
  • Unten (heraldisch unten) eine Jakobsmuschel, die für die Pilgerreise steht. Sie bezieht sich auf eine Legende über den Kirchenvater Augustinus. Die Muschel fand sich auch im Wappen des ehem. Schottenklosters St. Jacob in Regensburg, in dem Benedikt XVI. seine Laufbahn als Priester begann.

Hinter dem Wappenschild befinden sich die gekreuzten Schlüssel des Petrus, die für den Papst als Stellvertreter Gottes auf Erden stehen. Ein zusätzliches Element ist das Pallium, eine Art Stola, die von römisch-katholischen Metropoliten über dem Messgewand getragen wird und das in diesem Fall den Papst als Erzbischof und Metropolit von Rom kennzeichnet.

Als erster Papst der Neuzeit verzichtete Benedikt XVI. auf die Tiara im Wappen und wählte statt dessen die Bischofsmitra.
English: The coat of arms of Pope Benedict XVI. The crown with the episcopal miter plate is divided into three fields that carry specific heraldic symbols:
  • Left (heraldic dexter) of the "Moor of Freising" from the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising, where Archbishop Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger was Archbishop.
  • Right (heraldic sinister) the bear of St. Corbinian, patron saint of the diocese of Munich and Freising, from the city arms.
  • Below is a scallop, which stands for the pilgrimage. It refers to a legend about St. Augustine. The mussel is also found in the arms of Scots Monastery, Regensburg, in which Benedict XVI. began his career as a priest.
Behind the shield are the Keys of Heaven, which by Christian tradition were received by St. Peter from Jesus as a symbol of Papal authority. On top, it is adorned with a bishop's miter and a pallium instead of the traditional three-tiered papal tiara.
Español: De gules, cortinado curvado alzado de oro con una vieiria de oro en punta, a la diestra, una cabeza de negro al natural, con corona, collar y labios de gules; y anillado de oro, a la siniestra un oso al natural, lampasado y cargado de gules con cuerdas en cruz de sable para sujetar la carga.
Date 2005-2013 (as Pope)
