St. Florian with Bucket (Both; M 019) Ceramic Tree Decoration

According to tradition, St. Florian once stopped a town from burning down to the ground with a single bucket of water… and prayer, of course. It is this feat that is depicted in our featured image. We have provided the basic image with two different backgrounds here: one with billows of dark smoke on the front; the other with soft white clouds against an aqua blue sky on the back. St. Florian is patron saint of firefighters. + Feast: May 4 + Image Credit (M 019): Figure of St. Florian of Lorch extracted from an antique, late 19th century Eastern European devotional print in chromolithography, original publisher unknown, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera. The backgrounds were generated from two Filter Forge filters: ‘Sssssmoking’ by Orteil and ‘Clouds’ by Squideey. + Text colours are changeable.
