[[File:richmond.us.png|center|Arms (crest) of {{PAGENAME}}]] | |||
===Official blazon=== | |||
Argent, an orle gules, over all on a bend azure three mullets of the field. | |||
=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
These arms are based on the arms of the town of [[Richmond (Yorkshire)|Richmond]] in England. For the Richmond in America the tinctures of field and orle are reversed. The blue suggests the completion of Americanization and is a most appropriate background for the silver stars of Our Lady, which also refer to Virginia (virgin). Instead of a single star, three are used for added beauty of effect, the number itself always honoring the Blessed Trinity. | |||
