Description and symbolism:

The heron is canting to the Armiger’s name, “Aeronn Lawrence.” The name “Lawrence” translates to “the brighter one,” which aligns with the grace and striking appearance of the heron.

The lily honors the Armiger’s patron saint, Saint Joseph, as a traditional symbol of purity, chastity, and the Holy Family, all attributes associated with the saint.

The trimount represents Mount Arayat, a prominent mountain in the province of Pampanga, where the Armiger resides. It also refers to Saint John Neumann, whose feast day falls on the Armiger’s birthday.

The six-pointed star signifies the Armiger’s affiliation with the Order of Carmelites. The star’s six points represent the six virtues of the Carmelite tradition, embodying the Armiger’s commitment to prayer, humility, and devotion within the Carmelite spiritual path.

The red background is a tribute to Pope Sixtus III, the Armiger’s baptismal patron. Traditionally, red symbolizes the Papacy as it represents the sacrifice of Christ
and the blood of the martyrs.

The motto is a call for trust and reliance on Saint Joseph, the Armiger’s spiritual patron. It is a reminder to seek refuge, support, and guidance from the saint, revered for his protective and compassionate nature.

Blazon: Shield: Gules, on a trimount a heron closed, its dexter claw raised and grasping a lily slipped Or, in dexter chief a mullet of six points Argent.
