Through an analysis of coats of arms of various monastic communities we recognize their goals and spirituality. These generalizations apply as well to the two coats of arms presented in this paper, which have been used by the Camaldolese Order. In order to understand a message of signs used by a congregation one should refer to its beginnings, founders and history over the centuries. Heraldic research based on historical context and monastic legislature enables us to follow the forming of charisma and its evolution. It enables us also to learn about the value and importance of monastic life and hence, the richness of the Church.
