Mainly, because they are horrifying.
If you don't know, sometimes saints just refuse to rot away like normal people and the Church will put them into holy aquariums. However, after they do this sometimes their faces will rot away, so they give them masks so people don't shriek when they see them.
Stay classy, catholics.
Let's take a look shall we?
Typical example, creepy as hell.
This saint is incorupt, if by incorrupt you mean "rotting"
Even in olde tyme france, it was hard to believe people who saw virgins. (st. burny of lurny.) Wearing a wax mask since she's a little old woman all skin and bone without any skin
He's wearing a mask since his face fell off.
GAHHH!!
WHO DOES A GIRL HAVE TO VOW HER VIRGINITY TO TO GET A MASK UP IN THIS PLACE?
