The arms and what they mean

Arms of the parish of Terra-Chã

Silver, an uprooted green orange tree with its fruit; in chief, the cross of the Order of Christ between an eight-point star and a fleur-de-lis in blue. A mural crown of four towers.

“Terra Chã, one of the newest parishes on Terceira island”, as the 1999 cultural guide calls it, lies in the municipality of Angra do Heroísmo.
