1. This page shows St. Sebastian’ martyrdom and in its border pilgrims’ souvenirs.  These are badges sold to pilgrims at the site they would have visited.  They were sewn onto clothing as demonstrations of both piety and status.  Most are metal but one is a painted image of the Holy Face left by Christ on Veronica’s veil.  They are arranged on a mauve ground as it they are set in a shallow box framed by a thin wood molding; a similar molding seems to frame the image of the martyrdom with the prayer below.

2. On another page are objects used in religious devotion, almost as if they are stored for community use.  We find jars of holy oil, rosary beads, medallions with sacred images, spoons for incense, and pendants in the shape of jeweled crosses.  We look across the text, which tells us that Mary Magdalene washed Christ’s feet with her tears and dried then with her hair.  Now he appears to her, the first person to see him after the resurrection.  The reader watches the encounter as if through a window.
