In this episode, we explore the shocking statue of Saint Bartholomew in Milan's Cathedral, a powerful depiction of the apostle's martyrdom that serves as a testament to the strength of faith. Carved in 1562 by an Italian artist, the statue initially deemed too disturbing for the church, was placed in the courtyard before being moved inside years later. It portrays Bartholomew standing, draped in his own skin, a haunting reminder of his flaying in Armenia for converting the king's brother.
