Argent on a base Vert between two trees issuant of the Second trunked Gules a Saint Proper habited
Sable with nimbus scrip sandals and staff Or.
Christopher Southworth
Here is the German blazon:
In Silber auf grünem Boden ein schreitender, schwarz gekleideter Wendelin
mit goldenem Nimbus, goldenem Stab, goldener Tasche und goldenen Sandalen
zwischen zwei grünen Bäumen mit roten Stämmen.
Here is an attempt of translation:
In silver on green soil a walking, black dressed Wendelin with golden halo,
golden staff, golden bag and golden sandals between two green trees with red
trunks.
The snag is that the word which poses problems is the one I don't know how to
translate.
Pascal Gross, 21 December 1999
Wendelin is a name. There's for example a "Saint-Wendelin of Trier",
whose story can be read at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15587c.htm.
It is said that he is "still venerated in Switzerland".
Olivier Touzeau, 21 December 1999
