With absorbing prose and detailed images, Stephen Fliegel unlocks the secrets of these sacred objects and portrays medieval Christian believers as souls kindred to us - humans striving in their own time to discern and preserve religious meaning and decorum. Fliegel provides a rich understanding of the allegorical images that helped the church to communicate to the faithful through visual narrative and also provides a rich, textured understanding of sacred art and architecture.

This exploration of the artistry of Romeo Celleghin reveals the pressing need to undertake research and documentation of religious and sacred artwork before records and art pieces are lost or forgotten forever. Susan Whitelaw's discoveries help illuminate the path for others. She has not only recovered the beauty of Celleghin's art but presents a reminder for us to be vigilant in honoring and preserving the significant works of art that enhance our houses of worship.
