===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
The green oak tree is taken from the arms of an Irish O'Connor family of Roscommon, and is used here to symbolise the last name of the bishop. | |||
The eagle and rose represent St. John and St. Therese of Lisieux respectively. St. John is the second patron saint of the bishop. The rose appears because St. Therese was canonized during the reign of the late Pope Plus XI who had a special devotion to her and it was during his reign that Bishop O'Connor was ordained. | |||
The golden sword and helmet represent St. Martin of Tours, the main patron saint of the bishop. St. Martin was a Roman officer, bishop of Tours in the 4<sup>th</sup> century, who cut his cloak and gave half to a beggar. Hence the Roman helmet and sword to represent him in the arms. | |||
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop. | |||
