The pontificial hat and the walking stick represent San Germán, bishop of [[Auxerre]] (France) and patron of the city. The pontificial hat represents excellence, the sign of the episcopal dignity: it represents the fullness of the priesthood. The walking stick represents the power of the bishops to shepherd their spiritual flock. | The pontificial hat and the walking stick represent San Germán, bishop of [[Auxerre]] (France) and patron of the city.

The forth quarter shows the arms of Ponce de Leon. This same shield, alone and in combination with other heraldry quarter elements, are used in the houses of the Ponce de Leon of Spain. The branch of Puerto Rico, for some unknown reason, was designed without a crown, like in the old church of Santo Tomás (today San José) in San Juan, and in the seals that Monsignor Murga reproduced in his book about Ponce de Leon. In its shield, San German's quarter perpetuates the memory of the conqueror of Puerto Rico, who always offered his stimulus and protection. | The forth quarter shows the arms of Ponce de Leon.
