====Origin/meaning====
The main colors red and gold recall the colors of the flag of Spain, for it was missionaries from that country who first brought the Gospel to Florida. The Chi-Rho symbolizes Chrsit the Son of God and centre of all Christian faith.
I have no information on the origin or meaning of these arms. Any information is welcome !
