EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Denis of Paris, a revered figure in Catholicism and Christianity, is depicted in this stunning 19th century colored engraving. Born in the 3rd century AD, Denis was the Bishop of Paris and is considered the patron saint of Paris and France. The image showcases the saint with a long, flowing beard, dressed in the traditional habit of a bishop, holding a crosier or crozier, an episcopal staff adorned with a cross. Saint Denis is also known as Denys or Dionysius, and legend has it that he was beheaded for his faith during the Roman persecutions. According to tradition, after his decapitation, he picked up his head and carried it to a hill where he preached to the people, converting many to Christianity. The image captures the essence of Denis's strength and devotion, making it a powerful representation of the early Christian martyrs and the enduring influence of their faith. This engraving, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the 19th century and the enduring significance of Saint Denis in the history of Catholicism and Christianity.
