About the Book
“Scripture tells us of heavenly realities. Images show them to us.” - Denis R. McNamara
Stories Behind Symbols lives to carry on the stories behind the sacred symbols our Catholic churches have kept alive for thousands of years. Each page holds a heavenly reality for someone of any age to uncover.
This story book journeys through the liturgical year. It progresses through the liturgical seasons, concentrating on many popular solemnities, feast days, and special Sunday masses. Each celebration is paired with a common liturgical symbol that relates back to the special observance for that particular mass. This book can be read in parts throughout the year or enjoyed all at once.
I hope that this collection of illustrations and poems enhance your faith and awaken you to the beauty within liturgical symbolism.
