St Ursula with St Joseph and St Stanislaus

St Ursula is a blessed virgin martyr who lived in the fourth century in Britain. The daughter of the British King who was a Christian, she was ordered to marry a pagan. Advised by an angel, she asked the man to wait for three years and left for a pilgrimage to Rome with her noble friends and visited the Pope. On her way back she stopped in Cologne, where the conquerors Huns wanted to marry her to their king. She rejected the proposal and all of them were shot dead with arrows.

St Ursula is depicted in royal clothes, wearing a crown, with a palm branch in one hand and a banner or arrows in the other hand. The arrow symbolises her death. A ship full of girls symbolises her pilgrimage with her friends.
