The foundation of the coat of arms is a vertically divided shield. On the heraldic right side is the coat of arms of the Diocese of Spiš, which refers to its establishment by Pope Pius VI and to the ancient capitular church of Saint Martin. The heraldic left side is filled with a monstrance containing a host, which refers to the priesthood of Christ of the bearer of the coat of arms and his devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. The blue color in the personal section of the shield signifies Marian devotion and the connection to the village of Nižná, the birthplace of the bearer. The Latin cross and the green hat with twelve green tassels belong to a bishop according to the rules of ecclesiastical heraldry. The monstrance surrounded by golden rays, together with the motto, symbolically expresses the credo of the bearer of the coat of arms in the spirit of the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians: "Live as children of light! The fruit of the light is found in all goodness, righteousness, and truth" (Eph 5:8b-9).
