Specialist note

Saint Mammas of Caesarea (c. 259-c. 275) was orphaned as a child when his parents were martyred for their Christian faith. Mammas himself was subsequently tortured and martyred by being thrown to the lions (which he managed to tame) and afterward struck with a trident to the stomach. He is the patron saint of infants and those suffering from hernias, and is frequently depicted with a lion.
