The crescent stands for the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title Immaculate Conception. She is the patron of the diocese and cathedral. The crenellated dividing line pays homage to Fort Ouiatenon, a French trading fort, once near the river Wabash, south of modern day-West Lafayette. There, as early as 1717 the catholicism came to what is now North-Central Indiana.
