Holy Trinity

Under the radiant cloud with the eye as a symbol of God, St. Anthony is enthroned as the main patron saint of the Church. He is depicted as a monk, with a domestic pig at his side. He lived as a hermit in Egypt in the 4th century, and is regarded as the founder of Western monasticism. In later centuries, the rural population venerated him as the protector of domestic animals.

They had been taken hostage by the Nazis and deported to Germany. While digging air raid shelters, they found a small statue of Our Lady, for them a sign from heaven.
