I hope he does a good job.
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.
History and murals, a great combination.
I love them both Karl but the second is brilliant :)
That is a saint with a wonderful purpose.
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!
Very appropriate, given his saintly patronage!
You have the best murals!
I love these wonderful paintings that you have!
I'm sure there is a nice story to go with the murals.
Schnell, das Haus brennt!
The paintings are quite delicate.
Wonderful images. You feel the protection the saint offers. Thanks, Karl, for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
