San Blas banner, Parroquia de la Asuncion de Nuestra Senora, Bocairent, Valencia, Spain

San Blas, or St Blaise, oil painting, 1902, by Joaquin Sorolla i Bastida, in the Parroquia de la Asuncion de Nuestra Senora, or Bocairent Cathedral, in Bocairent, a medieval village in the Sierra de Mariola mountains in Vall d'Albaida, Valencia, Spain. The painting of the saint was commissioned by Bocairent residents Jose and Gabriel Aynat Belda and embedded into an embroidered banner by Federico Valero. The processional banner is used on the saint's day and for the Corpus Christi festival. The saint wears bishop's robes and carries a crosier and a carding comb, instrument of his martyrdom. The church was originally built in Gothic style in 1516 on the old Moorish castle, but was later adapted in a baroque style. Picture by Manuel Cohen
