Le Martyre de Saint Denis

By Léon Bonnat

Oil Painting, c. late 1870s

Panthéon.

More information on Saint Denis later. I totally didn't realize today was his feast! What a coincidence... or a sign? Hmmm. I keep seeing 141, too, I wonder what it all means.

N E Wayz, here's a closer look at vv the decapitation details vv

Bless him, because if that were me, I'd swing on everyone before they get the chance to ax me. I've had the biggest fear of decapitation since I was a child... it even turned into a psychic kind of vision where I predicted my grandmother's early death two weeks in advance because I had a dream where her head was staring at me from the corner of my dark room.

Okay, time to stop sharing things. It freaks me out; I don't mean to sound disrespectful on this post. I will explain more, and how cute the painter was, soon (hopefully I'll remember) because my computer's about to die and I need to leave for work!
