Embroidery by Jenny Hart

Some colleagues and I got on the subject of martyrs yesterday. This is not that unusual when you work at a seminary, but we happened to get on the topic while looking at someone's vacation pictures from San Juan. Specifically, there was one statue of St. John with his index finger raised as though in the midst of a dramatic sermon, although at first glance he appeared to be angrily flipping the bird.
Coincidentally, I then saw that patron saint of embroidery Jenny Hart had just posted this new work of a beheaded St. John on her Embroidery as Art blog.
