Saints & Hagiography
A sourced guide to 185 saints: feast days as Vatican News lists them, the writers in the library, saints of legend, and the old lives of the saints.
This guide lists every saint in the pilot collection, with feast days labelled by their source. Writers who are saints open their author pages; other saints have their own profiles with sources and the lives written about them.
