    How many times have we hesitated in front of the representation of the life of a Saint, to put a name to the intriguing scene that is proposed to us. Who is this Saint accompanied by a lion, or a crow? Why these pincers? And what is this cobbler doing in a church? What is this red and white flag? This symbolism was once well known to most people, and no one needed a cartel to identify votive objects and animals.
    This little guide offers visitors to museums and churches to recognize at first glance the most common Saints. Each character is clearly presented: Category, symbols and attributes, protection, feast day, summarized history, explanation of iconography, related quotation or prayer. Find the epic breath of the Golden Legend through all eras!

    A selection of the saints who marked Christianity. For each saint: a short biography, his patronage, the symbol attributed to him, the date of his feast day. This book, richly illustrated, is punctuated with quotations, miracles, prayers, proverbs.

    Born in 1963, Sylvie Bee Suzuki is a journalist and novelist. A graduate of Inalco, her training in Western and Asian art history at the Ecole du Louvre enabled her to study sacred iconography. She works for the French press and publishing in the fields of image and digital creation.
