Historical Usage
The Greek word 'Sarapis' was taken over by the Egyptians and identified with their god Osiris. This syncretized deity was popular during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The early Christian saint Séraphin was reportedly inspired by the image of Sarapis during his travels in Egypt.
Hellenistic to Roman (332 BC - 4th century AD)
Born in Sarbone, Italy, in 1260, Saint Séraphin of Monferrato was a monk who lived in a hermitage in the forest of Val di Stura. He was known for his extreme asceticism and miraculous healing powers. During the Black Death pandemic (1347-1351), he reportedly healed many plague victims by touching them with his robe, which was then burned to disinfect the area.
13th century to mid-14th century (1260-1351)
