Help me identify a Christian saint

[The Valkyrie]

St Poseidon the Letcherous....


Patron saint of waterfront bordellos.

Thought that was St Catherine the Chased?

I have no idea but I bet Vorlon would have had something to say about those hairy nipples.

@Fake Messiah

The image you provided is a 3rd century Roman mosaic called 'The Triumph of Neptune and Amphirite'

It is not a picture of a Christian saint..

Google's reverse image search FTW

So I nailed it?? Neptune is the Roman version of the Greek Poseidon....

A problem with identifying some of the older Christian saints is that they ever never existed , like say St Christopher or St George (these two I think have been removed from the pantheon by the Church)

Or they began as pagan gods or goddesses; Eg In Ireland; pre Christian shrines to the earth mother have been usurped by the Virgin Mary. Or turned into say the horned devil, who had been Pan.

In south America, many Maya/ Aztec/Inca gods have become Christian saints..

A bit OT

I also came across a really weird claim I want to follow up because it makes a kind of sense; The black virgin' is found in several parts of Europe, (and I think, SouthAmerica) The official explanation is that the statues have become black from hundreds of years of candle soot, I think that's horse shit.

Another explantation, although perhaps a bit 'out there" is the statues were introduced by the Romani(gypsy) people, in the form of their patron saint, St Sara.(aka Sara La Kali) That the Romani were originally from Northern India. Their saint had originally been the black goddess Kali.


"Saint Sarah, also known as Sara-la-Kali ("Sara the Black", Romani: Sara e Kali), is the patron saint of the Romani people. The center of her veneration is Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a place of pilgrimage for Roma in the Camargue, in southern France. Legend identifies her as the servant of one of the Three Marys, with whom she is supposed to have arrived in the Camargue.[1] "

The transformation of diverse gods and goddesses into Christian figure doesn't surprise me. All religions either adapt with changing needs of their worshippers, or they cease to exist. The Catholic church has been expert at adaption for nearly 2000 years , Within my life time it has not kept up with the rate of change,Eg it has ignored the call for female priests, allowing the marriage of clergy and of course a basic change in its attitude to sexuality.
.
The result has been its increasing irrelevance since WW2. That has been compounded by arrogant way it has managed the horrible child sex scandal. IMO the Catholic church will cease to function in developed countries within the next 50 years.,Unless of course there are massive changes..


I think I've made my point about Christian saints.

Please, can someone tell me the name of this Christian saint? Or is it maybe an apostle?

Did you look at the code??? It's Amphitrite and Neptune.

[The Grand Nudger]

Yeah, that won't actually rule them out as saints.  The catholics had a bit of a habit in that regard. 

[Little lunch]

Why do I keep reading that as Christian slut?
Time to get eye glasses me thinks.

Yeah I just assumed they were saints because don't saints look like that?



I mean do you not think at the first glance that this is some Christian saint because of the halo?

Or other Greek paintings remind you first of something from Christian mythology:



I mean WTFQ? Does this mean that Christians were stealing other people's mythology? Or could it be, as Christians claim, that the satan fabricated Greek paintings and mythology to look like Christians were stealing from them in order to divert people from Christianity into Hell? I mean if satan has supernatural powers then anything is possible and that's why Christians can only rely on their faith to guide them.

And also if Christians stole from Greek mythology to create "good guys" in their mythology could it be that they took a trident from Neptune and transferred it onto Pan and created  the Christian devil?
