EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Denis, the Patron Saint of Paris, is depicted in this image carrying his own decapitated head, surprising a young girl. This powerful and intriguing scene represents a significant moment in the legend of Saint Denis, the third-century Bishop of Paris who was martyred during the Roman persecutions of Christians under Emperor Decius in 258. According to the story, Denis was ordered to renounce his faith and offer sacrifices to the Roman gods. Refusing to comply, he was sentenced to death. As he was being beheaded, the legend tells us that he picked up his own head and carried it several miles to the hill now known as Montmartre, where he continued to preach and convert the people. This image captures the moment when Saint Denis encounters a young girl, who is said to have been struck by his unwavering faith and commitment to his beliefs. The girl, in awe of the miraculous sight, is depicted with her hands raised in wonder and reverence. The image showcases the striking contrast between life and death, as the saint, despite having lost his physical body, continues to spread the word of God with unyielding determination. The scene is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the strength of the human spirit, even in the face of persecution and adversity. The exact date of the creation of this image is unknown, but it is a powerful reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the legend of Saint Denis and his role as the patron saint of Paris.
