Saints Peter and Dorothy
Saint Peter carries the keys to heaven and hell. Saint Dorothy wears a garland of flowers including roses, and carries the same flowers in her basket. This is an allusion to the miraculous gift of fruit and flowers a messenger child brought to an unbeliever after her execution.
