LISBOA
Origin/meaning :
The arms symbolise the miraculous sea travels of Lisbon's patron saint, St. Vincent (São Vicente). In the 8th century ravens rescued his relics
from a sinking ship. 350 Years later, the ravens followed the ship which
brought his relics to Lisbon, escorted the procession to the Cathedral and
stayed in Lisbon to this very day, to prevent the indfidels from ever
coming back. In Lisbon's castle, in memory thereof a pair of ravens is
kept in a voliere and cared for by the city.
