+The three colours are the national colours of the USA. The swords stands for Saint Paul patron of the [[Diocese of Covington]], the blue fleur-de-lys on white represents (in opposite colors) the [[Archdiocese of Louisville]]. Out of these two dioceses Lexington was formed in 1988.
+The blue field also symbolises the Bluegrass State Kentucky. The crown and cross symbolise Christ the King, patron of the diocesan cathedral.
