Saint John the Baptist, martyr - a woman had the head of this prophet under the axe

Margherita Ward martyr - a woman lost her life to protect a Catholic  priest from imprisonment

Forerunners (continued...)

Saint John the Baptist

 OK not the Saint of course...but the reflection point. Amongst the relevant events and deeds that characterised the life of Jesus closest disciple - best mate or buddy we would say now - are the facts that he wore a tunic made of camel skin and ate locusts.

How many other Saints can you think at the drop of a hat that are associated with animals? Would make a helpful children calendar (and a good memory jog for adults like me too ;)).
