Ucropia o morte

покровитель комиков и людоедов
The Prefect was so angry that he had a great gridiron prepared with hot coals beneath it, and had Lawrence placed on it, hence St Lawrence's association with the gridiron. After the martyr had suffered pain for a long time, the legend concludes, he cheerfully declared: "I'm well done on this side. Turn me over!" From this St. Lawrence derives his patronage of cooks, chefs, and comedians.

По преданию, во время казни Лаврентий сказал своим мучителям: «Вот, вы испекли одну сторону, поверните на другую и ешьте моё тело!»
