Shield Sable parted by a cross Argent, over all a chaplet of oak branches Vert fruited Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers(village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "SANTA CRUZ - ARMAMAR".
Meaning:
The word "cruz" means "cross" and these are therefore canting arms. Furthermore the nme is referring to the "Holy Cross" (Portuguese: Santa Cruz) and thus also to its Catholic patronage.
