Description:
The Birthday Book of Saints is an accurate, up-to-date, day-by-day listing of the feasts of "patron saints", who have been (officially or traditionally) assigned the eternal care of various earthly matters -- occupations, hobbies, crises, medical problems, lifestyles, nationalities, and localities. Also included are many new patron saints -- such as Saint Germaine Cousine (patron of unattractive people) and Saint Eugene de Mazenod (the patron saint of dysfunctional families). For each day of the year, the book identifies the celebrated saint or saints, gives a brief biography, and lists the causes for which they may be invoked.

Lavishly illustrated with fine art, kitsch, icons, photographs, movie stills, and drawings, The Birthday Book of Saints has the same find-who-shares-your-day appeal as The Secret Language of Birthdays. It arrives just in time to provide spiritual nourishment to the faithful -- and faithless -- in the new millennium.
