San Pascual is is reported to be a shepard from Spain who was a lay brother in the Franciscan order in the late 1500's. He is the patron of kitchens because legend has it that an angel attended to his kitchen duties while he prayed before the Eucharist. I have several depictions of him hanging in the kitchen - some include the lovely phrase "panza llena, corazon contento" (after a good meal, the heart is content).
