I ended up choosing today’s saint, I went with the Seven Holy Brothers, the children of Saint Felicitas, not because of anything about the brothers themselves, of which little is known and much that is said is likely to be false, but because the picture that I worked from today, taken from an illustration in the Nuremburg Chronicle, is so goofy, showing the brothers’ mother, Saint Felicitas, holding a sword on which the heads of her sons are arranged like some sort of human charcuterie board.
