The cross behind the shield shows etched into the cross/transverse arm the slight suggestion of angel's wings in the same way that subtle designs are etched into real gold sacred vessels in the church. In other words, a suggestion of angel's wings appears on the processional cross above the shield. This represents the Archangel Michael, the patron of the bishop. At the center of this cross, where the upright and the transverse arms join, is displayed a rough cut emerald representing the "Emerald Isle" and the bishop's maternal heritage - Ireland. The staff of this cross is gold as well and falls behind the shield, re-emerging below the shield's base. | The cross behind the shield shows etched into the cross/transverse arm the slight suggestion of angel's wings in the same way that subtle designs are etched into real gold sacred vessels in the church.
