===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms as shown above are derived from the oldest known seal of the city, dating from 1609. The seal shows two skis and in the middle a cross, with a small star on the crosspoint. The skis are a canting element, the cross a religious symbol. There have been several theories about the meaning of the cross, but its meaning is not clearly known. It has been suggested that it is a symbol for the main church in Skien, the Holy Cross church. The small star may be a symbol of St.Mary as the second medieval church of Skien was devoted to St. Mary. Besides the skis there are two flowers, which are identified as Soleier (upright meadow buttercup). | The arms as shown above are derived from the oldest known seal of the city, dating from 1609.
