English:
hree symbols appear on a field of gold, each with special significance to the Bishop. At the top, an anchor -- the traditional Christian symbol of hope -- is flanked by two Easter Lilies, symbolizing glory and resurrection. Together, the anchor and the lilies refer to the Bishop's Episcopal Motto: Christ our Hope of Glory (Colossians 1:27).
The bottom of the shield depicts the lion, representing Saint Mark the Evangelist. Saint Mark is the Bishop Bartchak's patron saint; the Bishop also attended Saint Mark Seminary in Erie. Dividing the gold field is a blue wave, which is drawn from the coat of arms of the Diocese of Erie. Bishop Bartchak spent most of his life on the shores of Lake Erie. When paired with the symbol of Saint Mark, the wave is also a reminder that Christ is present in both the Word (Saint Mark's Gospel) and the Sacraments (water). |
