(pt) De prata, três faixas de vermelho, brocante sobre tudo a figura honorífica que é uma haste de ouro, nascente do bordo inferior, sustentando uma cruz alta que, começa nomeio da faixa inferior e vai até o meio do campo de prata e os braços assentes sobre a primeira faixa de preto perfilada de ouro, entre duas pétalas de lírio, presas na haste, do mesmo metal.

Origin/meaning

The silver shield with the red bars is taken from the arms of the Pestana family. Over all is a fleur-de-lys, of which the vertical part is replaced by a cross. The cross is an obvious Christian symbol. The fleur-de-lys is a common symbol for St. Mary.
