"Its what I believe to be a Parton Saint" I don't really know what that is, as I am also 18, but if by saints you mean Jesus Christ's disciples, its none of them. Because no one is this generation has seen the face of the Saints and Jesus Christ, even if they did, its only that Jesus Christ chose to appear to them, and they wouldn't make statues of Christ or his disciple's for one of the 10 commandments as people would like to call them, is, do not make any graven images of the earth below and the heaven above, and if you really want to be a saint you don't need a statues motivation, for its not because of the statue, its because of your grandma's generosity, for love your grandma, and not the statue. As you said your reading the KJV bible, I strongly support you in this, for 2 years from now if you continue reading you will definitely be a changed man.
If this is the same saint you are referring to, he is not holding a heart. The Patron Saint is holding a cross in one hand and a pigeon or a dove in the other. St.Francis of Assisi is honored by the Catholic Church as the patron saint of animals and ecology.
The bible does not mention this person, only the catholic church.
