Hi, guys —
I have recently been made aware of St. Rita, the patron saint of lost causes. I am very interested in iconography, so I've done a web search for images of her, and in several she is shown holding a human skull.
The web articles explained the head wound and the crucifix is rather
self-explanatory, however, please explain the symbolism of the skull.
I could certainly use the intercession of a patron of lost causes!
I also covet the prayers of your dear readers, as I will pray for you and the service that you provide with this web site.
