Per fess Azure on a Mount Vert a Lamb Argent sejant holding a Latin Cross Or and Or a Grill fesswise

The tool shown in the lower half of the flag is of course the one on which St. Laurent was roasted
alive. It was a usual practice in the medieval iconography to identify a martyr by placing in
his/her hands or close to him/her the tool used to martyr him/her.
