The black shield with golden chief and two silver pales is taken from the arms of an Irish Maginn family and is used here to symbolise the family name of the bishop. The lion in chief symbolises the bishop's mother, whose name was Keenan and thus the lion of a Keenan family arms was chosen to symbolise her. The lion was also the symbol of the Saint Vincent de Paul's parish of which the bishop was pastor. The lion holds an acorn, which is taken from the arms of the [[Diocese of Derry]] in Ireland and refers to his namesake Bishop Edward Maginn (1802-1849). | The black shield with golden chief and two silver pales is taken from the arms of an Irish Maginn family and is used here to symbolise the family name of the bishop.
