A: San Ramon Nonato

Last week we proposed this holy as a challenge. Ansorena had identified him as St. Benedict, although it is actually San Ramon Nonato (1200-1240).

Born in Solsona, is called the "Unborn" because his mother died during childbirth and her little body had to be

taken from his mother, why he became patron of women in labor.

La Virgen de la Merced appeared while grazing cattle, urging him to enter his order, founded by St. Peter Nolasco for the redemption of Christian captives, and this idea came to Algiers in 1230. However, his excessive zeal in preaching he be flogged and imprisoned and, even in his confinement getting Muslims to shut up, he pierced lips to put a lock on them.

After

being released, Pope Gregory IX made him cardinal. Apparently, being in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bCardinal gave his cloak to a beggar who turned out to be Christ, and in reward for his charity, the night he saw two maidens, one with a crown of roses and one with a crown of thorns, and He chose the latter, a symbol of suffering.

was called by the pope to Rome, but died on the way, but Jesus himself was administered the last communion.

So, is credited with wearing the habit Mercy, often with hood cardinal, as in the case of this work. Moreover, padlock on the lips (visible in sculpture by Juan de Mesa, from the Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla, pictured left), holding a monstrance and a palm with three crowns, alluding to his roles as a martyr, doctor and confessor. You can also wear the crown of thorns that was preferred to that of roses, shackles or chains, alluding to the mission performed by the Merced order.

devotional images are much more common than narrative, really rare.
