Mystery saint!
I've got a mystery saint on a hand reliquary that is supposedly 16th century and Spanish. Can't share the image, but the inscription says:
SANTA RATLRINA MARTIRIS
So who is St Ratlrina the Martyr? Any ideas?

Today is the 55th anniversary of the murder of four students at Kent State. I wrote this piece last year for @satevepost.bsky.social about the anti-war movement at the university, and the (evermore relevant) parallels with the contemporary student movement protesting Israel’s assault on Gaza.
Kent State and the Route to Violence on Campus | The Saturday Evening Post
There are some striking parallels between the events at Kent State on May 4, 1970, and the current protests on college campuses in the U.S.

There are still a few weeks left in the year (though December is generally a quiet month for book proposals), but it looks like I’m going to close out 2024 with around 80% of total book proposals coming from men, 18% from women, and 2% from persons whose gender was not apparent/obvious.

Vincent van Gogh’s painting Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun from the Minneapolis Institute of Art is currently part of the exhibition Van Gogh: Poets & Lovers at the National Gallery in London. But was the yellow a creative quirk? No. Probably not. Here’s why.
