This chapel stands out because of its very colorful statue: a Roman soldier with a bundle of lightning bolts in his right hand.
Donatus of Münstereifel (Rome, around 140 AD – before 180 AD) was a Roman soldier and a so-called catacomb saint, a group of saints of whom nothing is known historically, but about whom there are various legends. According to legend, he belonged to the Legio fulminatrix (Lightning Legion).
He is worshiped as a protector against thunder and lightning.
His feast day is celebrated on June 30.
