Three
Military SaintsGovernors Island was
for many years a military installation. These images of military
saints are on the left side of the Chapel's reredos.
Whoever put the
labels beneath the images got them confused. The first saint on
the left, with his elaborate armor and dragon, is undoubtedly St.
George, not St. Martin of Tours, who is in the middle image with the
poor man to whom he gave the half-cloak. The saint on the right
is indeed St. Cornelius.
