Why should little ones enjoy all the coloring fun?
Whether you've been wishing for a good challenge or simply want something truly worthwhile to color, here's the coloring book you've been waiting for!
A Feast of Saints brings together 23 exquisite illustrations by Catholic artist Matthew Alderman, originally created for various private commissions. From relatively simple portraits to richly ornamented compositions, each one is filled with the beauty and symbolism of traditional Catholic sacred art.
But there's more here than meets the eye! Accompanying the illustrations are short accounts of the saints' lives, along with explanations of the symbols and details Alderman has woven into his designs. Discover why St. Cecilia is surrounded by musical instruments, what the sword and anchor signify in a portrait of St. Philomena, and how the lives of the saints are reflected in the artwork itself.
A beautiful challenge for older children and adults alike, this collection offers an opportunity not only to enjoy coloring, but to become better acquainted with the saints and the rich visual language of Catholic art.
