St. Peter's Square, Vatican

The red granite Egyptian Obelisk of Caligula is on the left-center. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter%27s_Square

On top of the colonnades are 140 (!) saints. stpetersbasilica.info/Exterior/Colonnades/Saints-List-Colonnades.htm

I was raised as a Presbyterian, so the idea of 140 saints was daunting, until I read that there are actually about 10,000 Catholic saints! Presbyterians (and other Protestants) don't revere saints in the same way as Catholics do, but specific Catholic saints are honored.

"...the names of some Presbyterian churches include the names of saints: the Apostles of Jesus (Peter (or Simon), Andrew, James, John, Philip, Thomas and Matthew), the authors of the synoptic Gospels (Mathew, Mark, Luke and John), the first evangelist (Paul) and other Roman Catholic saints (Elmo (or Erasmus)), Stephen, Barnabus, Giles and Patrick)." Protestants don't canonize new saints or pray to saints. Source: dwkcommentaries.com/2014/09/19/a-presbyterians-musings-about-saints
