    Never to old to learn, a new patronage saint for firefighters.

    Interesting to learn about the origins of the Florian cross. I think we sometimes see that on firefighting symbols here in the States without any direct reference to or image of the saint.

    Love these. And that's a saint that doesn't just sit around heaven all day - he is active and working hard!

    I agree with Lowell: saints rarely do practical things in paintings!

    I'm sure there is a nice story to go with the murals.
