Marble statue of Domingos Fernandes, one of the 40 Martyrs of Brazil (also Blessed Ignatius of Azevedo and 39 companions). They were martyred by Calvinist pirates off the Canary Islands as they went as missionaries to Brazil. Many of them were thrown alive into the sea and drowned, some already dead were also thrown into the sea. Their bodies were lost in the sea, none having been rescued from the waters.
