The representation shows the saint dragged by a bull while several figures strike him. It depicts the martyrdom according to his iconographic tradition, so review the scene before choosing the gift. The image may interest someone who appreciates old miniatures and knows the religious history of the places that preserve his memory. Your own words can explain the connection between that history and your choice.

Saturninus is venerated as the first bishop of Toulouse and a martyr of ancient Gaul. Information about his earlier life is scarce, and later accounts incorporate legendary elements. Devotion to him left its mark on both sides of the Pyrenees, particularly in southern France and Navarre. This background gives meaning to a pilgrimage keepsake or a reading about the links between communities and shrines in those regions.
