The fleur-de-lis and the star both represent the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is known by the titles "Lily among Thorns" (cf. Song of Songs 2:2) and "Star of the Sea." The lily also calls to mind the family name of the bishop's mother, Shirley Lilley Burbidge. The star, white on a blue background, appears in the arms of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, where Bishop Burbidge was born and reared in the Catholic faith, and which he served for more than 20 years as a priest and bishop. | The fleur-de-lis and the star both represent the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is known by the titles "Lily among Thorns" (cf.
