At the centre of the shield is the ichthus, one of the earliest Christian symbols, found where the followers of Jesus met in secret. Ichthus means fish in Greek, and its letters are an acronym for “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour”, also in Greek. Fishing is a notable activity in the Gospels as Christ called his disciples to be “fishers of men,” and the symbol is an appropriate one for the Province considering how important the fishing industry has been in the economy of eastern Canada. The shield uses two colours, blue and gold, the former being a reference to the sea and the Atlantic Ocean in particular. | At the centre of the shield is the ichthus, one of the earliest Christian symbols, found where the followers of Jesus met in secret.
