Xavier as a Patron Saint for Protection Against the Plague

NIUE, Christmas of 1993, Scott 665

The above stamp is based on Guido Reni's Madonna of the Rosary, a Pallione del Voto or processional banner to protect Bologna from plague. Reni portrayed seven saint protectors of the town, including Xavier, shown to the left of St. Dominic, even though Xavier had only been canonized a few years at the time of the painting.

Dr. Walter Nissel and Wilhelm Remeš reminds us in the recent book Die Jesuiten in der Philatelie that a number of Plague Columns have been erected in honor of the Trinity or of Mary to give thanks for deliverance from the plague. These columns, some of which have been depicted on stamps, contain images of saints especially regarded as protectors against the plague, St. Francis Xavier prominent among them.
