SAINTS: A Year in Faith and Art
by Rosa Giorgi
includes a SACRED BOOKMARK

While this book was not written by a monastic, its richly illustrated pages are filled with them—abbots and abbesses, monks and mystics. We believe it will inspire not only daily devotion, but also will captivate scholars and art historians with images ranging from such masters as Caravaggio, Rubens, Velasquez and El Greco to more modern and lesser-known artists. Rosa Giorgi, an esteemed art historian and teacher at the Catholic University in Milan has chosen a saint for each day of the year and has composed a brief description of these protectors and patrons of our daily lives—including etymology of the saint’s name and unique story, as well as details of the location of the original artwork.

Included with each copy of “SAINTS” is a Sacred Bookmark. Made from galloon braid imported from Europe and commonly used as trim on sacred vestments, a small order of monastic nuns selected this exquisite design to make these custom bookmarks for this precious little book. While the bookmark’s primary purpose is to mark your page, we can’t help but wonder if its sacred origins also might kindle a spark of divine inspiration during your daily devotion.

390 full-color illustrations, 780 pages and only 4½” x 6,” paper over board.
Sacred Bookmark is approximately 10” including tassel, and 1½” wide!
