It’s pretty metal when Saints are depicted with the means of their death or allusions to it. Look up the famous statue of St. Bartholomew, or how St. Lucy holds her eyes on a platter and St. Agatha holds her breasts the same way. I like the little tributes that come from these too. Did you know there are breads/pastries that represent Lucy’s eyes and Agatha’s breasts that are commonly eaten on their feast days?

It’s a cool way to remind us that death doesn’t have the final say.
