Saints
Holy people in Christianity who are believed to be very close to God and are honored for their good deeds.
What is it?
Saints are people who lived holy lives and are now in heaven. Many saints were martyrs, meaning they died for their faith. Christians pray to saints for help and remember them on special days. Saint Lawrence was a deacon in Rome who was martyred in 258 AD. He is the patron saint of cooks and comedians. Artists often painted saints to inspire people. In Strozzi's painting, Saint Lawrence is shown with a lamp, symbolizing his role as a light of faith.
