Remarks
- ^ Pius X .: u. a. St. Mark's Lion of the Patriarch of Venice
- ↑ Benedict XV .: The church refers to the Pope's original surname (Giacomo Della Chiesa; chiesa = Italian church).
- ^ Pius XII .: The dove of peace possibly alludes to the civil surname of Eugenio Pacelli (Latin pax coeli = pacelli or Italian pace = peace).
- ↑ John XXIII .: Lion of St. Mark the Patriarch of Venice above the coat of arms of his hometown Sotto il Monte
- ↑ Paul VI .: Sechsberg unter Drei Lilien (The small mountains, Italian montini, allude to the civil family name of Pope Giovanni Battista Montini, the French lilies allegedly refer to Paul's love for French culture.)
- ↑ John Paul I: The Lion of St. Mark of the Patriarch of Venice over Sechsberg with three stars. Since the Pope wanted to refer to his two predecessors with his name, he quotes from the coat of arms of Paul VI. the Sechsberg and from the coat of arms Johannes XXIII. the lion of Mark.
- ↑ John Paul II: blue with a golden cross shifted to the right, in the fourth quadrant a golden “M” for “Maria”; Decoration: tiara , Peter’s key
-
^ Benedict XVI .: Freisinger Mohr , Korbinian Bear , Scallop ; Decoration: miter , Peter’s key, pallium
interpretation, statement, background see: Benedict XVI. - ↑ Francis: In addition to the miter and Peter’s key as an ornament, the symbol of the Jesuit order can be found on the actual shield , including a star as a symbol of the Virgin Mary and a branch of the Indian nard as a symbol of St. Joseph of Nazareth , the patron saint of the universal Church.
