1285 Blessed Blest Delphine Earned Good Landowner Receives Stigmata 1323 Sainthood
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image from the annals of medieval European history, St. Elzear de Sabran, a French landowner, is depicted in two significant moments from his extraordinary life. On the left, St. Elzear is shown receiving the stigmata, the mysterious and painful wounds that mirrored those of Christ's crucifixion. The event is said to have occurred in 1320, when St. Elzear was in his late thirties, and is considered a sign of his deep spiritual devotion and connection to God. On the right, St. Elzear is seen in the joyful moment of his marriage to the Blessed Delphine, which took place around 1285. Delphine, a noblewoman from the region of Avignon, was renowned for her piety and charitable works. Their union was not only a union of love but also a partnership in the service of God. Born in 1285, Elzear de Sabran lived an apparently prosperous life as a landowner in the south of France. However, his experiences of deep spiritual transformation, including the reception of the stigmata and his marriage to Delphine, led him to renounce his worldly possessions and dedicate himself to a life of prayer and penance. St. Elzear's story is a testament to the transformative power of faith and the enduring allure of the spiritual life, even in the midst of material wealth and worldly success. This image, with its rich details and intriguing narrative, offers a glimpse into the complex and often enigmatic world of medieval European saints. The image is believed to date from the 15th or 16th century and is a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of St. Elzear de Sabran, the French landowner whose good life earned him a place in the annals of sainthood.
