Symbols of Catholicism

This book invites the reader either to discover or to increase the understanding of Catholocism, on of the cornerstones of Western culture. The symbols of the Catholic Church are at once human and divine, material and spiritual, for they are the very Incarnation of the Word of God. Here Dom Robert Le Gall examines the people at the heart of the church, its saints and Biblical figures, the sacraments, songs, gestures, as well as sacred objects and the church's liturgical calendar.
