Today’s saint picture: Saints Mark and Marcellinus

A pair of saints about whom nothing is known beyond their names which of course means that it was an opening to make things up. So tradition says that they were twin brothers in the Roman nobility who refused to apostosize and were beheaded as a result.

The drawing I did here was based on a medieval French manuscript which depicts the brothers as French merchants, somewhat inexplicably.
