介绍（中）	圣菲阿克一只手拿着一把铲子，被奉为园丁的守护神。根据这位七世纪圣人的传说，菲阿克在一天内独自清理了整个森林后，获得了为穷人建立隐士和收容所的权利。他以在法国Meaux的花园里种植多种不同种类的蔬菜和草药而闻名，他制作并分发了许多草药。圣菲阿克因其神奇的治疗方法而闻名，尤其以治疗痔疮而闻名。不出所料，在他在Meaux教区布里附近建立的修道院里，对这位圣人和他的遗物的虔诚程度很高虽然英国城市诺丁汉在15世纪以生产雪花石膏雕刻而闻名，但同一时期，这种石头也在Meaux开采。就在1500年之前，该市主教委托为其大教堂的唱诗班建造了一个用浮雕装饰的雪花石膏围墙。一个世纪后，一位意大利编年史家评论说，"一英尺半高"的雪花石膏小雕像正在缪市出售。
介绍（英）	Holding a shovel in one hand, Saint Fiacre is presented as the patron saint of gardeners. According to the legend of this seventh-century saint, Fiacre earned the right to establish a hermitage and a hospice for the poor after single-handedly clearing an entire forest in one day. Famed for growing many different kinds of vegetables and herbs in his garden in Meaux, France, he made and dispensed many herbal remedies. Credited with miraculous cures, Saint Fiacre was particularly renowned for curing hemorrhoids. Devotion to the saint and his relics was predictably strong at the monastery he founded near Brie in the diocese of Meaux. While the English city of Nottingham was renowned for its production of alabaster carvings in the fifteenth century, the stone was also quarried in the same period at Meaux. Just before 1500, the city's bishop commissioned an alabaster enclosure decorated with reliefs for the choir of his cathedral, and a century later an Italian chronicler remarked that alabaster statuettes "a foot and a half high" were for sale in the city of Meaux.
