Shield Or a palm frond Gules in pale between a fig branch Vert fruited Purpure and a grape bunch Purpure leafed Vert, in base a hen Gules armed Sable. Mural crown with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with black inscription "SANTA LUZIA - S. ROQUE DO PICO".
Meaning:
The palm frond is the default attribute of any Christian martyr and in this case representing Santa Luzia, patron saint and name giver of the commune. The branch of a fig tree is symbolising orchardy and the grape bunch viticulture. The hen is symbolising local cultural traditions and is alluding to the local hen festival.
