According to Prudentius, Eulalia of Mérida was tortured to death by being tied between two uprights
with braziers burning either side of her (this was after she's been stretched on a rack,
and her breasts and flanks torn with hooks, so her body would have been half-flayed
and acutely sensitive to the heat - to judge from the more reliable accounts of martyrdoms,
this was the usual procedure for dealing with obstinate females).
Later she was 'hijacked' by Barcelona and her legend became more elaborate,
with an X-cross taking the place of the uprights in most images,
but burning remained the cause of her death.​
....and I sort of envy her....
 
I first read about her (not in such detail, but enough) in a 'Book of Saints'
in the bookcase of a 'churchy' great-aunt, when I was about 13,
i.e. the same age as Eulalia - I was fascinated then,
and she's been 'me' ever since!​
 
Here more fitting cross than urs :p

??:eek:??

Congratulations, Yupar, that is probably the most unusual crux pic I have seen all year! Maybe all decade!
Crucified on a dragon?

What does that bring to mind?

"George, George, I have something I want to show you"

:D

Now THAT would liven the show up!
