The coat of arms of Jalisco (Spanish : Escudo de Jalisco, lit. "state shield of Jalisco") is a symbol of the Free and Sovereign State of Jalisco in Mexico. [1]

Contents

This shield symbolizes the nobility and lordship of the city of Guadalajara; virtues that the Spanish crown recognized in the work and dangers that the city's inhabitants had endured in the conquest and settlement of the city. [2] When the state of Jalisco was founded, the shield became a symbol of the federal entity.

The above confirms the explanation that historians and heraldists give about the use of enamels (colors and metals) and figures in the coats of arms. [3] These scholars affirm that these elements confer duties on the inhabitants of the state to which the privilege of arms is granted.

Symbolism

The Coat of arms Jalisco consists of a blue field, a pine of sinople outlined, two lions rampantes of color, opposite to forehead and the legs on the trunk, embroidery is of gold, consists of seven arms of gules. For stamp, closed helmet and for cimera a flag of gules, loaded with a cross of Jerusalem to the one that uses as shaft a lance of the same color, the lambrequins are of gold and blue alternated. [4]

The blue field represents loyalty and serenity, the holly oak of sinople represents noble thoughts, the lions represent sovereignty and warlike spirit, the arms represent protection, favor and purity of the feelings. They also honor the Spanish combatants in the 1227 Battle of Baeza against the Moors in. The helmet represents nobility and victory in combat. The cross of Jerusalem signifies the conquistadors' descent from the Crusaders, and the lance signifies strength tempered by prudence.[ citation needed ]
