The coats of arms of the diocesan bishops of the Koszalin-Kolobrzeg (Kołobrzeg) Diocese in the perspective of church heraldry

Summary/Abstract: Church heraldry developed in accordance with the general heraldry and dealt with the crests of clergy of all church grades, orders and other organizations in the womb of Christian churches. Creating a personal coat of arms and choosing a calling is a privilege, not a duty of church hierarchs. In the coat of arms and the call of the clergy, his identity, the perception of the world and the matters most important to him are included. Religious symbols are the most characteristic of religious coats of arms. They are presented in the form of foreign currency, holders and supports and other heraldic insignia. Both the coat of arms and the motto (call) is a personal choice of the hierarch and results from his ministry and his religious content. The description of the coat of arms consists of two parts, namely the description of symbols placed on the image of the coat of arms and the presentation of its intentions. In this article, a graphic description of the form of the diocesan bishop's coats of arms was made, analyzing the symbols placed in them.
