saint

It’s a grand work operating on the largest scale, with a symphony orchestra, choirs and odes to saints rendered in many languages.

Like comic strips, the predellas contain a series of interlocking, loosely sequential stories, typically the lives of saints.

"I begged them not to hurt me. I called on the saints and begged them. But their hearts didn't pity me. They violated me."

My work desk covered with statues and devotional cards of Jesus, Mary and the saints is a physical testament to this.

The giant candlesticks’ scrolled feet support robustly modeled evangelists; Mark is most conspicuous, as befits the patron saint of Venice.
