The legend says he stopped at a small island to light a fire and Celebrate Easter Mass. The island turned out to be a giant fish! These old paintings of the event really amused me!
This is the inside of the church named after him. All my pictures are from the web, of course.
“Then God assigned
a huge fish to swallow Jonah. Jonah was in the fish’s belly three days
and nights.”

How interesting! You have such good posts!
Yes, this post reminded me of Jonah and the whale... meaningful post here!
Very nice paintings and interesting story!
I have not heard of this saint. I like the island fish.. looks like a giant grouper.. I love the waves on your back ground.
I love those paintings! They look both amusing and frightening :-)
That's really neat. I enjoy learning about the different saints, although I sometimes have a hard time keeping their stories straight.
Never heard this one Ginny. Made me think of Jonah and the whale also. Interesting paintings. Hugs, LJ
Love the paintings and the story. That's a beautiful church too
Oh I love seeing pics of those beautiful churches. I didnt know this priest. I would guess looking for the garden of Eden had many participants?
