Jokes aside, what's this image supposed to represent? Did the child actually get eaten alive in whatever story this is from?
I guess it is a depiction of a miracle of resurrection. It could be saint Nicholas or similar to this story:
Well there's a phrase I didn't expect to hear, well, ever
That's what I will call anything pickled now.
"pickle me, Elmo!" were the children's last words
Elves are pickled children?
Thanks!
What book is that from?
Wikipedia cites this one: Ferguson, George (1976) [1954], "St. Nicholas of Myra or Bari", Signs and Symbols in Christian Art, Oxford, England: Oxford University Press, pp. 135–136
You can "borrow" this version for free: https://archive.org/details/signssymbolsinch0000unse/ The story is at page 81. But there're no more details, just the same short paragraph.
