The main charges of the shield have particular significance for Bishop Martin. The chief is blue and with the Marian symbol (monogram) represents Mary. Bishop Martin is a member of the Society of Mary. | |||
The gold base depicts the lamb holding the crook and represents the Good Shepherd who is a sign of comfort for us. It is also a reminder of the call of Christ to shepherd the flock, a responsibility Bishop Martin has as the chief shepherd of the diocese of Christchurch. Sheep are also a reminder of Hawkes Bay, the rich agricultural area where Bishop Martin was raised'. | |||
On a scroll below the shield is Bishop Martin's motto: Rejoice in the Lord always from Philippians 4:4. | |||
