ST. ROCH
Patron of Dogs
Saint Roch was born in France in 1295. As a young man he walked as a mendicant pilgrim to Rome, where there was an epidemic of plague. He fearlessly tended the sick in public hospitals, and is said to have effected many miraculous cures by prayer and the sign of the cross and the touch of his hand. Eventually, he too became ill and went into the forest at the edge of the city and prepared for death. While praying, a dog came to him, brought him bread, and healed his wounds by licking them. Both returned to Rome, where they worked to heal others and comfort the dying.
Cast in stone and painted by hand. Includes gift box & story card. Stands or hangs on hook. 6" x 2 ½" x 1 ½" Made in USA.

JULIAN OF NORWICH
Patron of Cats
Julian of Norwich (1342 – c. 1416), the great English mystic and visionary, lived as an anchorite in a cell built into the wall of a church, prayed and gave counsel to visitors. A longstanding legend is that Julian had a cat in her cell; a stained-glass church window in Norwich shows Julian with her cat. It is easy to imagine the two contemplatives together, and easy to understand the practical reason why the only other living soul allowed in an anchorite's cell was a cat --- to keep rats and mice at bay. To this day, the site of her (and her companion cat's) cell is a place of pilgrimage.
Cast in stone and painted by hand. Includes gift box & story card. Stands or hangs on hook. 5 ¼ " x 5 ¼" x 1 ¾" Made in USA.
