| Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan | |
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Lingayen–Dagupan is an archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church in the ProvinceofPangasinan, Philippines. Its cathedral is the Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John the EvangelistinDagupan with a co-cathedral, the Epiphany of Our Lord Parish Church, in the neighboring municipality of Lingayen.
Its suffragan dioceses of San Jose and CabanatuaninNueva Ecija, along with the dioceses of MalolosinBulacan (suffragan of Archdiocese of Manila), and Balanga (Bataan), Iba (Zambales) and Tarlac (Tarlac; suffragans of the Archdiocese of San Fernando), form the group of dioceses in Central Luzon.
The Diocese of Lingayen was created on May 19, 1928, comprising the entire province of Pangasinan. In 1954, because of the destruction brought on Lingayen by World War II, the see was transferred to Dagupan, and the diocese was named as the Diocese of Lingayen-Dagupan. The diocese was elevated to an archdiocese in 1963.[2][3]
The nimbed silver eagle is the symbol of Saint John the Apostle and Evangelist, the titular of the cathedralatDagupan. The silver star (previously depicted as three gold Oriental crowns) refers to the Epiphany of the Lord, the titular of the co-cathedralatLingayen. The red wavy pile represents Lingayen Gulf. The green field represents the "rice-bowl" of the Philippines, the whole of Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija. The three heraldic roses represent our Lady, the Mystical Rose, who is venerated in the archdiocese under three titles: Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary of Manaoag; Our Lady of Purification; and Mary Help of Christians.[4][5]
