From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pope Benedict XVI's shield contains symbols he had already used in his arms when he was Archbishop of Munich and Freising, and subsequently as Cardinal.
The image of a bear carrying a pack is a reference to a legend of Saint Corbinian. It is said that when Corbinian was crossing the Alps to bring important letters to Rome, a bear attacked and killed his horse. Corbinian rebuked the bear and commanded it to bring the letters the rest of the way. Benedict has commented that the bear, unlike Benedict, was released from service when it reached Rome[1].
