Interesting!
Age, like beauty, may be in the eye of the beholder. She looks to me to be in her mid-40s. The lines on her face, the old C-section scar. . . .

Ste Foy, Conques, on the pilgrims' road to Santiago. Sainte Foy, St. Faith, was a young woman martyr in Agen. The story of how her relics got 'translated' to Conques isn't very saintly, but 'sacred theft' was regarded as in some sense excusable in the middle ages. And her relics made the church a very popular - and so wealthy - stopping-place for the pilgrims. In Cordelien's magnificent image she's in front of the tympanum of the Last Judgement, on the west front of the glorious romanesque abbey church.

From : https://nominis.cef.fr/contenus/saint/1970/Sainte-Foy.html
Saint Foy was born around 290 in Agen and belonged to a noble Gallo-Roman family. She was taught the truths of the faith by her nurse. She later asked St. Caprais to baptize her without her family's knowledge. She devoted her time to praying and helping the needy. In 303, Dacian, prefect of Agen, re-launched the persecutions against the Christians by promulgating an edict "every Christian must be denounced and will be punished on the spot". She was denounced by her father for having declared herself a Christian. She underwent the ordeal of the bronze bed to be burned, but the rain put out the fire. She was beheaded on October 6."

" ... the ordeal of the bronze bed to be burned ..."
It was perhaps concerning the "brazen bull" where the victim was confined while a fire was beneath established ; people could ear the screams of the victim getting out by the bull'mouth and imagine that the bull was alive ...

I quite like women who look like someone you might see up on a cross outside of any random Roman city, and this one certainly meets that description (minus the C-section scar, of course!)
This screenshot has it all. Hanging low on her cross, fighting to breathe, grimacing in pain as her shoulders threaten to pop right out of their sockets. If I were heading into town and had some free time, I’d stop to watch for a bit.

Thanks, Eulalia, for the cultural and touristic information
Conques is one the most beautiful village in France, with the most magnificent romanesque church

More like on a griddle, like St Lawrence:
I wonder if she was as witty as legend has it he was. After a time over the fire, he said, "Turn me over, I think I'm done on this side."
Her Latin name was Fides (Faith). Santa Fe in Spanish, Sainte Foy in French, Saint Faith in English.
