Juan Manuel Gabino Villascán, May 06, 2001.


The first coat of arms of the State of Puebla was that of the capital city, granted by Royal Decree on 20 July 1538. The coat of arms has a green shield bearing a five-tower fortress in gold, and two white-clothed angels holding the fortress, one in each side of the castle. Above right there is a "K" for Karolus (Charles) and a "V" for "Fifth": Charles V King of Spain. The two letters are in gold. Below the fortress a blue river. Over the red border a text reads: "Angelis Suis Deus de te ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis", that translated means: "God command his angels take care of you in all your paths". A text so close to that found in Psal 91, 11-12 and Mat 4, 6. It is still the coat of arms of the city of Puebla de Zaragoza, formerlly called Puebla de los Ángeles.
Juan Manuel Gabino Villascán, May 06, 2001.
