4 When the Saints Go Marching In

Some sample questions from this category:

* This 12th century English bishop is shown petting (or standing next to) a swan.
* This female martyr holds a basket of roses and fruit, or is shown handing it to a child (or an angel). Her name means "gift of God".
* In a famous representation in the Sistine Chapel (the "Last Judgement"), this apostle holds a knife and his own flayed skin (although he looks none the worse for wear).
* This Benedictine saint, known as the "Apostle of Germany" is usually shown taking an axe to an oak tree.
* This young female martyr (no one is quite sure when, or if, she actually lived) wears a crown and stands in front of a tower with three windows (or holds a miniature version of same). She also holds a sword and/or a palm branch.
