This beautiful book chronicles the history of sainthood, unravelling the myths and addressing such issues as martyrdom, relics, patronage and canonization. It discusses what a saint is and explains the selection and confirmation process, and covers subjects such as miracles, feast days and pilgrimages. Themed pages give lists of patron saints and feast days, and discuss topics such as The Holy Family, Celtic Saints, Warrior Saints and Saintly Popes. The last chapter contains studies of some of the world’s most called-upon and best-loved saints. This book will inform every reader interested in finding out more about Christianity and the company of saints.
