A statue of a saintThis blog hasn’t had many photos lately, so here’s a few taken of the artwork in Hacienda de Abajo. I don’t know anything about the horse and the (presumably) Chinese statue, I just like them. There’s a tale attached to the saint with a big sore on his leg and a dog, but I was at the back of the group so I missed the saint’s name. Anybody know?A small statue in Hacienda de Abajo. Love the happy kids

I like the horse – I think he’s laughing.
I think he’s St Roch, patron saint of dogs and invoked against the plague.

Thanks! I’ll check with Wikipedia tomorrow.
