The small inverted crosses refer to Saint Peter, the Petra or ¨rock¨ upon whom Christ built his church. The saltire represents Saint Andrew, the patron of the cathedral and of Andrew Byrne, the 1st bishop of Little Rock 1844-1862. | |||
The white and blue are in honor to Mary as patroness of the USA under her title Immaculate Conception. The sixpointed blue star was taken from the arms of Pope [[Gregory XVI]] who established the diocese on 28.11.1843. | |||
