Coat of arms of the Infante Manuel of Castile, 1234–1283, 7^th son of the King Ferdinand III of Castile, 1199-1252, and the Queen Beatrice of Swabia, 1205–1235. They are canting arms of «Manuel» ~ «manu–el» ~ «mano–ala» ~ «hand–wing». For this reason, I describe it as a hand with a wing and not as a wing with a hand. Another theory suggests that, since his maternal grandmother was Irene Ángelo, daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Isaac II Angelos, the 2^nd and 3^rd quarters derive from this lineage. However, this Byzantine emperor did not have a coat of arms in the Western heraldic sense, let alone one featuring an angel's wing wielding a sword. A synthetic theory could be proposed, combining the concept of canting arms with angelic symbolism, referencing his descent from the emperors of Byzantium, something that was undoubtedly of great importance to him. There are explanations about this in [Menéndez Pidal de Navascués, F.; 1982, pages 98-100]. And what's more important, they are not a quartering by inheritance; quarters 2^nd and 3^rd are inherited, but quarters 1^st and 4^th are conceptually invented, which opens up the creative field.

Azure, between two palm fronds in pile reversed a Lady of Mercy grasping in her sinister hand a broken chain Argent, and charged on the chest with an escutcheon per fess, 1 Gules, a cross patty Argent, and 2 Or, four pallets Gules.

This is the coat of arms of Sister Esperanza Vega Lanzagorta, designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and painted by me in 2 steps. In the 1^st row is the selected version of her coat of arms, and in the 2^nd row is an alternative version; both are based on the same structure and concepts. The blazon for the alternative version is as follows, note that the only change is the arrangement of the two palm fronds, from pile reversed to pile: «Azure, between two palm fronds in pile a Lady of Mercy grasping in her sinister hand a broken chain Argent, and charged on the chest with an escutcheon per fess, 1 Gules, a cross patty Argent, and 2 Or, four pallets Gules».

Design rationale

Sister Esperanza's arms symbolizes 2 essential aspects of her life. The central figure is Our Lady of Mercy, bearing the arms of the Order of Mercy upon her breast, in remembrance of Sister Esperanza's membership of the Mercedarian Missionaries of Berriz. The broken chain she holds recalls the original Mercedarian mission of the redemption of captives and, by extension, the liberating vocation and service to those most in need that, as a Mercedarian, characterized Sister Esperanza's life. The 2 great palm branches protecting the Virgin also evoke the port of San Blas and the Mexican roots that accompanied Esperanza throughout her long missionary life in Asia. 2 symbolic arrangements of the palms were tried: pilewise beneath the Virgin, perhaps a somewhat conventional composition; and the arrangement chosen, pile reversed, protecting and framing the Virgin.
