Unidentified
Saint
Basis for Identification: The red
stole is worn over the left shoulder and tied at the
side, as has been the rule for deacons since the fourth
century. Priests wear their stole around the neck. Thus,
this could possibly be one of the relatively small
number of deacon saints, such as St. Lawrence, St.
Stephen, and St. Vincent of Saragossa. We found only one
other St. Stephen santo in our research, and none for
Lawrence or Vincent.
Site: Church of San Juan Bautista
Coixtlahuaca.
Location: First
bay in the north wall of the nave, to the right of the Soledad
(see note).
Next: We
move ahead to the second bay in the north wall for a statue of Our Lady of
the Rosary.

Note: On
this
site,
references to the cardinal directions always assume
that the main altar is at the east end of the church,
the narthex or entry area at the west end, and the two
walls
of the nave on the
north and south. (The
nave is the long central section.)
