Shield Argent, a Greek cross fleury Vert, in dexter chief an eagle Gules, in sinister chief an eagle Azure, both armed and tongued Sable, in base a crescent recumbent Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "SANTA MARIA DA FEIRA - BEJA".
Meaning:
The eagles are refering to Beja municipality, a modification from those to be found in the municipal arms. The cross is alluding to the Knights' Order of Avis. The crescent might be an attribute of St. Mary, the local patron saint.
