Symbolism
editThe coat of arms of the state of Morelos represents the "fertility of the land." It also represents revolutionary ideals and aspirations. A green terrace can be seen from which a golden corn plant grows; between it and the star that crowns it, the motto "Land and Freedom" can be read in a silver band of the same color.
Above it appears a star and a silver ribbon with the legend "Land and Liberty" and around it you can read the revolutionary motto: "The land will return to those who work it with their hands," a phrase by the native hero Emiliano Zapata.
Framed around the emblem is a band with the legend "The land belongs to those who work it with their hands"; this frame is complemented by a green border on the inside and a red border on the outside of the shield. It synthesizes the strength of the revolutionary ideals in the service of better living conditions for the people.[2]
