Christina Miller of Baton Rouge, La., painted this image of Pierre Toussaint holding a pair of golden scissors opened in the shape of a cross over his heart. The scissors represent the simple tool that allowed him to make a good living as a hairdresser and in turn do many good works. Toussaint died June 30, 1853, at age 87. (OSV News photo/Bob Roller)
