This book is ideal for readers interested in Catholic heritage, religious history, or cultural studies, as well as anyone who appreciates beautifully curated biographies of notable saints.
Every Catholic saint, local and liturgical, is honoured on a particular day of the year. Here, the author has chosen up to three saints for every day of the year, along with representations of those saints ranging from world-famous works of art to more modern depictions. The author also gives a short explanation of each saint.
