EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Visionary Saint - St. Pascal Baylon's Rapturous Encounter with the Cross St. Pascal Baylon (1540-1592), a Spanish friar of the Order of the Passion of Christ, is depicted in this evocative image as he experiences a profound vision. Kneeling before an ethereal crucifix suspended in the sky, St. Pascal's hands are raised in awe and reverence, his eyes transfixed on the divine figure of Christ. The chains that once bound him as a captive in North Africa, now lie discarded at his feet, symbolizing his spiritual liberation. Born in Borja, Aragon, Spain, Pascal was captured by Barbary pirates and sold into slavery in Africa. After years of hardship, he managed to escape and returned to Spain, where he joined the Passionists. His experiences in captivity deeply influenced his spirituality, and he became renowned for his deep devotion to the Passion of Christ. This print, anonymously created, offers a glimpse into the mystical world of St. Pascal Baylon. The image conveys the intensity of his spiritual journey, as he is drawn closer to the divine through his unwavering faith. The celestial backdrop further emphasizes the transcendent nature of the encounter, transporting us to a realm of wonder and reverence. St. Pascal Baylon's legacy extends beyond the confines of the Spanish borders, as he is venerated in various countries around the world. His feast day is celebrated on May 17th, and his intercession is sought for various causes, including the protection of captives and the strengthening of faith. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of faith and the enduring influence of the saints in our lives.
