Even in the world of ecclesiastical heraldry the horrible events of 9/11/2001 are commemorated. The Most Rev. Josu Iriondo, Auxiliary Bishop of New York, was ordained a bishop late in 2001 during the aftermath of that horrible terrorist attack on the city. A well-known cross formed by the intersection of two steel I-beams in the wreckage of the twin towers made up the principal charge in his assumed coat of arms.

May we always remember the tragic loss of innocent lives in that fateful day.
