Saint Mamai riding a lion is a depiction on an 11th century silver plate gilded with gold from the Gelati monastery. Saint Mammes (Mamas, Mammas, Mammet) of Caesarea (Greek: Μάμας; French: Mammès; Italian: Mamante; Spanish: Mamés; Portuguese: São Mamede) is a child-martyr of the 3rd century. He was martyred at Caesarea. His parents, Theodotus and Rufina, were also martyred. Mammes was thrown to the lions, but managed to make the beasts docile. He preached to animals in the fields, and a lion remained with him as companion.
