Flag

The council informed me their flag was adopted during the term of 2018-2021, around when Digna Belman Vera was interim municipal president.

Coat of Arms

from Pinterest

The Council informed me their coat of arms was adopted on 28 September 1954 (likely mistaken; is the year meant to be in 1953?), being designed by Antonio Nieto de León, himself being asked by J. Jesús Lerma who was under the orders of Municipal President Ricardo González González. It was adopted with the motive of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla; and to be celebrated on the anniversary of the capture of Alhóndiga de Granaditas (historic success in the capital of Guanajuato by the Insurgents in the Independence war). The governor, Don José Aguilar y Maya, asked all municipalities to create a municipal coat of arms, apparently to use in the event. Description according to the council:

Over a rolled parchment, in its upper part and curved in the lower area, two stars over blue are found over a background of silver color, one on each side that represent the luminosity of art; to the center, a gold cross with white shroud between the arms, which symbolizes the name of Santa Cruz [Holy Cross], five roses to the foot and to the sides of the cross, which signify the rewards which are given to the artists in the floral contests. As a support of the cross, the green cloud and within it two branches of laurel in the darkest green, referring to the prize that was given to the winners in lyrical or poetic competitions; between the branches of laurel, a lyre in gold that represents music; under, wavy stripes in blue and silver that have the sameness of waves, ideographically encompassing the waltz "Over the waves", highly recognized composition of the son of this city, Juventino Rosas Cadenas. Over the parchment, the national shield and to the sides of this, covering the exterior flanks, two national flags.
