1295 1327 Caring Healing Infected Miracles Perform Pilgrim Plague Recovers Roch Roque Victims Rocco
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts St. Roch, also known as St. Rocco or St. Roque, embarking on his pilgrimage to Rome during the 14th century. The historical figure is renowned for his selfless act of caring for plague victims during the devastating epidemic of 1327. In the print, St. Roch is shown as a humble pilgrim, dressed in simple robes and carrying a staff, a scallop shell on his back, and a small dog by his side. The shell is a symbol of his status as a pilgrim and his journey to the holy city of Rome. However, the pilgrimage took an unexpected turn when St. Roch himself became infected with the plague while caring for the sick. Despite his own illness, he continued to provide comfort and care to those in need. The faith and devotion of the suffering people led to St. Roch's miraculous recovery. Upon his recovery, St. Roch resumed his journey to Rome, where he performed numerous healing miracles. His compassionate spirit and unwavering faith made him a beloved figure in European folklore and a patron saint of those afflicted by the plague. The print captures the essence of St. Roch's historical significance and his enduring legacy as a symbol of hope, healing, and selflessness during times of great suffering. The image is a poignant reminder of the power of faith and the importance of caring for those in need, even in the face of adversity.
