===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
The three black peaks on gold represent the Black hills of South Dakota. They are depicted with shamrocks to allude to Saint-Patrick, patron saint of the church in Lead, which served as the first cathedral 1902-1930. The golden field reminds to the gold ore which once drew many propectors and settlers to the region. | |||
During the reign of bishop Dimmerling or bishop this original shield has been changed: in base a green field with a golden annulet was added, separated to the gold by a barrulet wavy argent. The green recalls the rich ranch land on which many South Dakotans past and present have relied for their livelihood. It is charged with a golden circle reminiscent of the Sacred Circle of the Lakota people and their belief in the incorrectedness of all created things. | |||
The white wavy stripe alludes to the River Missouri, the eastern boundary of the diocese. | |||
