Druzbice - rural commune, Bełchatów county, Łódzkie Vojvodship.
Here is description of the Coat of Arms and flag according to the editor, Mr.Wojciech
Dudkiewicz:
"Coat of Arms presents full figure of the bishop with silver (gray) beard, moustache
and hair (to stress his longevity). The bishop holds the Bible at his chest
and there is a goose at his feet - all as his attributes ( it isn't explained
who he is - just a bishop).
There is an addition of the Coat of Arms of Nalecz clan to point to the previous
owners of Druzbice and the lay patrons of the parish.
It was concluded that the best color for the shield would be light-blue,
which signifies in the heraldry the stability, heavenly love, piety and
holiness, and also brings back the memories of Kacper Druzbicki, one of
the most prominent owners.
The Coat of Arms is unique, strongly relating to the the traditions of the main
village of the commune, and enhances the sense of community.
The flag reflects the colors of the Coat of Arms and was chosen by the council
persons out of several proposals."

Could be St Martin, not now dividing his cloak but in his capacity as
a bishop (of Tours, France). The goose betrayed him as he was
hiding to avoid becoming a bishop.
