| English | blazon wanted |
Arms impaled. Dexter: Or, a lighthouse Argent between to dexter a pine tree Vert and to sinister a crescent, encircled by twelve stars Azure; on a base wavy of the last, upon a fishnet, of the second, lined Sable, an anchor between two fish of the first. Sinister: tierced per fess; to chief Azure, a Chi-Rho Argent; a center of the second, a rose in profile Gules, leaved and stemmed Vert; and in base Or a fleur-de-lis of the first.
Origin/meaning
By heraldic tradition the arms of a diocesan bishop are joined (impaled) with the arms of his jurisdiction; in this case the Diocese of Biloxi.
Bishop Kihneman’s personal arms are composed of three sections.
The upper section is a blue field with a silver Chi-Rho, the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ (XPISTOS), one of the most ancient symbols of Christians and Christianity.
In the center segment is a silver field with a red rose, displayed in profile, with a stem and leaves of green, to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary; the Mystical Rose.
In base, on a gold field is a blue fleur-de-lis, for Saint Louis, King of France, Bishop Kihneman’s Baptismal patron.
For his motto, His Excellency, Bishop Kihneman has adopted the phrase, “THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD.” This phrase, from the 23rd Psalm, expresses Bishop Kihneman’s firm and profound belief that it is only in following The Lord that eternal success is achieved.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969
