Origin/meaning

The arms quarter the arms of the (arch)diocese with the personal arms of the bishop.

The Lamb of God is taken from Bishop Martin Modéus home parish, Sofia in Jönköping, the lion symbolizes courage, and together the bishop believes that they give an association to Isaiah's vision of paradise, "where predatory animals and domestic animals lie together in peace", but also that through the division of the shield they show that we are not there. The division into three mountains shows a bridge and the bishop's role as a bridge builder.
