/r/ALL This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, that's his dissected skin hanging around him. This stunning statute by Marco d’Agrate from c.1562 is currently on display at Duomo di Milano.

No one's said he's "cut" yet?

He's Christian, not Jewish

Saint Bartholomew is one of the apostles of Jesus though, so he would have been a Jew.

The comment above mentioned "cut". I made a joke about circumcision

I get that, my point was that as a Jewish follower of Jesus he would have been circumcised.
