Since the 15<sup>th</sup> century only the original lion is the arms of Holland. The lion was often placed in a so-called Garden of Holland, a fence surrounding the shield. Not only the provincial government, but also many cities in Holland used this symbol. Nowadays only [[Geertruidenberg]] and [[Gent]] (Belgium)]] use the Garden of Holland. As both the counts of Holland as the provincial government were quite influential, the lion of Holland is present in many arms, f.e. in the arms of the provinces of [[Overijssel]], [[Utrecht (provincie)|Utrecht]] and [[Zeeland (provincie)|Zeeland]]. The motto was introduced in the 16<sup>th</sup> century. The motto, "Vigilate Deo Confidentes", means "Be on guard, trusting in God". | Since the 15<sup>th</sup> century only the original lion is the arms of Holland.
