- A cross in a field of crimson, symbolizing the Town itself;

- The cross mounted on a hill or path of gold above the silver and blue symbolizing the fishing and heritage of life of Conception Bay;

- Within the fields of green are two lions heads of crimson in squares of gold emblematic of the English heritage.

Holyrood

The meaning of the name, Holyrood, is quite apparent:  it is the old English name for "Holy Cross" from the ancient Anglo Saxon word - Rod - meaning staff or cross:  While on an English map, dated 1693, the name is given as Holly Rode.  Like many other names in Newfoundland Holyrood breathes a high sense of religious fervour and faith.
