“Five Saints Saga”

The story follows Pietro, with no memory of his past, washes ashore where he is taken in by a group of unique individuals blessed with elemental powers and supernatural abilities. He meets James and John, the lively pranksters, Miss M, the astute debater, Cecilia, the reserved and insightful "flower," Kateri, the serious older sister, Maria, the witty illiterate, and Anna Wang, the introverted Chinese girl with limited speech. Adopted by Lorenzo and Marina, a devoted Asian couple, Pietro begins his journey with this eclectic group.

Adopted by Lorenzo and Marina, an Asian couple with strong parental instincts, Pietro embarks on a journey with The group. During a late night walk, one of the Black Seven, Elvire Sven, abducts Anna for sinister intentions. Vira Tsavf, leader of the Black Seven, harbors secret aspirations to rule over the Five Flags. Amidst their quest, the group experiences sporadic moments of "consciousness blackouts," hinting at their forgotten pasts. The prophecy foretells that the Five Saints will overthrow the Black Seven, and light shall prevail against the darkness. As the prophecy unfolds, Pietro and the others prepare to face the formidable Black Seven, all while uncovering their lost memories. In the gripping narrative, Lady Cecilia foresees the emergence of the nine new heroes who will be christened *The Five Saints*. Armed with elemental powers reflective of their individual personalities, they embark on a mission to rescue Anna Wang, dethrone the Black Seven, and establish a base of operations from which to wage a war against the forces of darkness. The question looms. Can Pietro and his companions harness the power of light to overthrow the shadow looming over their world?

Dating Mexican silver is somewhat easier than most Latin American objects because of an assaying system established by royal decree in the viceroyalty of New Spain. However, few objects carry the full complement of required marks, and other means are needed to fully understand the silver. Stylistic analysis of the form and the delicate, flat, Mannerist strapwork decoration of this chalice suggest a fabrication date of about 1600. A published example of the crowned “M” Mexico City location mark helps date the paten to the same period.

The chalice is one of seven ecclesiastical items unearthed in St. Augustine, Florida (see History) in the late nineteenth century. Long thought to be Spanish and only recently recognized as Mexican, the vessels are a rare and early body of church silver made for Spain’s North American colonies. St. Augustine was colonized by Spain in 1565, making it the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the United States. The town’s strategic location on the Gulf Stream, where it protected Spanish vessels laden with South American silver en route to Europe, prompted Spain to provide financial support, which extended to the spiritual life of the inhabitants.

From the beginning, religious and daily life in St. Augustine were interwoven. Upon his arrival, founder Pedro Menéndez de Avilés (1519 – 1574) brought “eight church bells and four ornaments for celebrating Mass.” When Spain became responsible for the colony, funding for the clergy and the goods required for the celebration of Mass were included in the annual budget for Florida’s military garrison. Between the late sixteenth and later eighteenth centuries, most sacramental goods were purchased from Mexico. Proximity was a primary reason, for, in the age of sail, communication was slow. More compelling, however, was the financial incentive — revenues collected in Mexico provided the budget that sustained the Florida colony.

The early date of the chalice and its survival are remarkable given the many dangers through which it passed. How and when it came to be buried at some distance from the parish church of St. Augustine may never be fully determined, but the following events could account for some of its movements.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, St. Augustine was often attacked by English soldiers. During some assaults, such as South Carolina’s unsuccessful six-week siege in 1702, church goods were moved for safekeeping into a fortress called the Castillo de San Marcos. In 1763, when Florida was awarded to the British as a consequence of the Seven Years War (French and Indian War), all moveable church property was shipped to Havana, Cuba; an inventory from the next year records that these items included a “copón [cup] without a foot, silver and gilded on the inside,” a description similar to the chalice in this entry. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 returned Florida to the Spanish, and the ecclesiastical goods were repatriated. An inventory taken in 1787 mentions chalices but lacks details that could identify this example.

St. Augustine joined the United States in 1821, and the parish found itself without financial support due to the separation of church and state under U.S. law. This stressful period was compounded by a largely anti-Catholic Protestant population that had emerged during the years of British occupation and renewed Spanish ownership. Chief among this group was District Attorney Alexander Hamilton Jr. (1786 – 1875), who argued that property of the Roman Catholic Church under the Spanish crown should pass to the U.S. government. Such rhetoric may have prompted church members to quietly relocate the chalice along with the rest of the ecclesiastical silver.

In 1823 Hamilton ran for the office of Territorial Delegate of Florida. Minorcan Catholics, an ethnic Spanish immigrant group affiliated with St. Augustine parish from the time of British occupation, sent a petition to President James Monroe protesting that Hamilton had threatened his opponents with unfavorable decisions on land claims. The name of Bernardo Segui appeared at the top of the document. Segui served as president of the Board of Wardens, which was incorporated that year by the Florida Legislative Council as trustee-proprietors of parish property. He also owned a plantation house on the land purchased in 1871 by the donors of these two objects. It is on this land that the church silver was discovered in 1879.

Church officials had reason to fear the loss of their silver, for the attitude of the Protestant majority was unsympathetic to their culture; upon seeing the communion objects at St. Augustine church in 1827, author and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson observed in his diary that they appeared to him as “great coarse toys.” Church wardens had access to the church building and its furnishings, and it was not uncommon for them to house such items. Segui may have sought to protect the sacred silver items from falling into government hands.

Description

The chalice has a raised bowl with straight, slightly everted sides. The lower third is encircled with an applied molding that extends horizontally from the body; four small rings are soldered at equidistant points along the circle. The rings were originally intended to hold small bells that would have rung as the priest raised the chalice during Mass. Below is a cup form with stapwork decoration that bulges slightly before tapering to a short trumpet-shaped stem having two flat graduated rings along a narrow stem. A large baluster with additional strap decoration descends to smaller forms. The foot, now lost, has been replaced with a modern wooden base. The chalice, including the concealed central rod, has been gilded; some residual accretions from the period of its burial remain inside the bowl.

Marks

"M" crowned, the Mexico City location mark, visible at base of chalice bowl.

Inscriptions

None.

Provenance

By 1878, unearthed from property on Oneida Street, St. Augustine, Florida, by property owners William H. Keith (b. 1803 - d. 1885) and Harriet Lovett Keith (b. 1837 - d. 1917), St. Augustine and exhibited at Bigelow, Kennard and Co., Boston; 1880, placed on loan to the MFA; passed by descent and in 1928, given to the MFA. (Accession Date: August 21, 1928)

NOTE: It is not known when this object, along with six other pieces of ecclesiastical silver (MFA accession nos. 28.464 – 28.470) was buried. The cross (28.468) is inscribed with the date 1721 and the name of the Spanish governor and captain general of Florida, Antonio de Benavides (1718 – 1734). It has been suggested that the silver was buried after Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1821, in response to fears that the U.S. government might seize church property. See Jeannine Falino, Silver in the Americas, 1600-2000. American Silver in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA, Boston, 2008), pp. 465-466, cat. no. 370, and pp. 524-525, Appendix I.

The Imperial State Crown was made in 1937 by Garrard for the Coronation of King George VI. The design of the crown was based on Queen Victoria’s Imperial State Crown made for her Coronation in 1838.

The crown is set with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, spinel, and pearls but is also features several important jewels.

The cross at the top is set with St. Edward’s Sapphire, said to have belonged to Edward the Confessor.

Four pearls hang from the center which were a wedding gift to Catherine de Medici from Pope Clement VII. They are said to have been worn as earrings by Queen Elizabeth I.

The front is set with The Black Prince’s Ruby which is actually a spinel that belonged to Don Pedro, King of Castile. Just below is the Cullinan II, a 317.4 carat diamond presented to King Edward VII.

At the back of the crown is the Stuart Sapphire, from the collection of King James II.

It’s a default position

I realise I sound like a stuck record. But that’s because nothing is changing and we are plunged firmly into a worn out groove.

Last year, watching us at home to Arsenal, Carl was filming us talking in the stand. I said to him ‘there isn’t one player in our squad I would miss if they were sold’. Fast forward a calendar year and the feeling is the same. I wouldn’t miss any of them.

I can still remember the slightly sickened feeling I had when someone at school told me Nigel Callaghan was being sold to Derby. When Richard Johnson was linked to Leeds it felt almost impossible to envisage him in a kit other than the yellow and black.

Last year, Watford’s Player Of The Season was Hassane Kamara. Quickly and without resorting to YouTube can you remember ANYTHING that he did that made him stand out for this award? Tricky isn’t it? He picked up that trophy because he was the best of a wholly terrible bunch. Picking up POTS last year was akin to winning an award for having the best wasting disease. When he was sold to Udinese in the summer it barely registered. In fact I think I might have given out a small joyful yelp. Imagine my disappointment when he was immediately loaned back.

If the current squad can be compared to a steaming pile of dung (and, let’s be honest here, they can) Joao Pedro and Ken Sema are the two small shoots of something more green and pretty growing out of it.

When credible sources announced Pedro’s transfer to Newcastle was ‘a done deal’ in August, Peter and myself were guests on the ‘Loaded Mag’ NUFC podcast not once but twice to discuss how much he’d be missed at Watford.

But lately he seems to do a lot of running around getting fouled starting attacking moves 25-30 yards deeper than he should be. He’s not the ‘exciting number 10’ we informed Loaded Mag he was going to be at St James’ Park.

Sema huffs and puffs and does the work that you would expect someone in his position to do. The fact that he’s standing out like some kind of footballing wizard is actually more on the disinterested bunch of wallies he shares a dressing room with. He’ll probably get Player Of The Season this year.

Who will miss Keinan Davis, Hamza Choudhury or Henrique Araújo when their loans expire? Who will be utterly gutted when Sarr gets a move for 65% less than we paid for him?

Not me. And I was saying all of this about the Watford squad twelve months ago too.
