The Coat of arms of Morelos (, lit. "state shield of Morelos") is a symbol of the Free and Sovereign State of Morelos.
Symbolism The 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.
History The coat of arms of the state of Morelos was designed by the painter Diego Rivera in 1923.
Historical coats The symbol is used by all successive regimes in different forms.
