'''Origin/meaning :'''<br>
===Origin/meaning===
I have no information on the origin or meaning of these arms. Any information is welcome !
The red field honours the Spanish heritage of the area and because the Spanish word for red, one of the dominant Hispanic colors, is "Colorado". The silver Latin refers to a particular natural ice formation outside of Denver on Mount Holy Cross, since the ice formation is in the shape of a cross. Interlaced at the center of the cross is a silver crescent to honer the Blessed Virgin Mary, in her title of the Immaculate Conception, titular of the Cathedral Basilica in Denver.
