Product Description
This is a beautiful Saint Genesius of Rome Plaque. According to tradition, Saint Genesius of Rome was a comedian and actor who performed in a series of plays that mocked Christianity. While in the middle of performing in a play that ridiculed the Christian sacrament of baptism, he had a profound conversion experience right on stage. He immediately professed his newfound faith to the audience. When the Emperor Diocletian (who was sitting in the audience) commanded him to renounce his Christian faith, Saint Genesius refused to do so. He was arrested immediately and taken off to be tortured and beheaded (go to History/Story tab). Saint Genesius is now regarded as the patron saint of actors, clowns, magicians, illusionists, and comedians. This plaque is a great gift for a birthday, baptism, confirmation, first communion, Christmas, and the feast day of Saint Genesius on August 25th.

Saint Genesius – Patron Saint of Actors
