Ecclesiastical arms in Croatia follow the specifical church heraldic tradition, that differs in details from secolar - nobility and minicipal heraldry. The contemporary ecclesiastical heraldry includes the coats of arms of priests as well as of various church institutions, and at leats in the 20th cnetury shows lesser or greater shift from the traditional heraldic principles when composing contents of a shield. The rank insignia for priests include a galero - priestly hat with wide circular rim with cords with tassels hanging from it. The colour of galero and the number of tassels depends on the rank. Also, bishops display a cross behind the shield, and archbishops a double cross, and they may include other symbols, like mitre and crozier. Matropolitan bishops may also display a pallium hanging behing the shield, although it is today aften omitted.
Today, as a rule, priests elect they arms only when named bishops. When raised to higher offices, they may retain the same arms with appropriately modified rank symbols, but they may also introduce modifications in the contents of the shield, It is usual that once assumed bishop's motto is retained for life.
The ecclesiastical teritorial units in Croatia have coats of arms in Croatia today only occasionally, and if so, they are often composed only of a shield with chanrges within it. They are often based or even equal to the coat of arms of the first official who held the pastoral office in the unit. Sometimes, in stead of arms, (circular) seals are used.
Unlike the municipal and state arms, which are today mostly standardized in design, the ecclesiastical arms of one and the same persion or institution may differ in much details of artistic representation, in accordance with the heraldic tradition, depending on artist and medium. Here they are shown in an artistic interpretation of the author of these web site.
No flags for these individuals nor institution, as a rule, were recorded in use so far.
