Tips
Saint-Roch is the most represented saint on the paths of Saint-Jacques. He is the patron saint of pilgrims. His story is tragic. Suffering from the Black Death, he warns passers-by that he is contagious by pointing with his finger to a bubo on his left thigh. He is always represented accompanied by his little dog who is in charge of bringing him food. The statues of Saint-Roch are numerous. This one is beautifully made.
