Description
Saint Lawrence of Rome. Color lithograph. Lawrence of Rome (c. 225-258) was one of the seven deacons of ancient Rome under Pope Sixtus II who were martyred during the persecution of Emperor Valerian in 258. French explorer Jacques Cartier gave the name of St Lawrence to the widest river estuary in the world. The rescue operation for the miners trapped in the 2010 Copiapo mining accident in Chile was termed Operacion San Lorenzo after this saint.
