Like St Lawrence, he was martyred by being roasted on a grill, but only after refusing to give up to the authorities the holy books in his keeping. The latter stipulation would explain the cupboard containing the four gospels in the mosaic, whereas there is nothing in the vita of St Lawrence that they relate to. > Cheers, > Jim > ________________________________________ > From: medieval-religion - Scholarly discussions of medieval religious culture [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Genevra Kornbluth [[log in to unmask]] > Sent: August 10, 2016 10:25 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [M-R] FEAST - A Saint for the Day (August 10): St. Lawrence of Rome > > medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture > > I can add a page of Lawrence images (Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, Louvre > reliquary, Perugia fresco, Arca di Sant' Agostino, Arezzo fresco, > Riemenschneider): > www.kornbluthphoto.com/SaintLawrence.html > I notice that John has not included the Mausoleum in his list.
