We chose this approach because many of the saints we wanted to honor — especially lesser-known martyrs, ancient confessors, and saints from outside Western Europe — have little or no devotional art available today. Rather than leave these saints without an image, we worked to give each one a faithful, reverent visual portrayal grounded in what we know of their life and witness, enhanced with symbols, dress, and traditional attributes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0; font-size: 0.95em; line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eThe goal behind this approach is not to replace the great Catholic art of the centuries, but to extend the visual communion of saints to those whose faces have been forgotten — so that Catholics today can recognize, visualize, remember, and ask their intercession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sancta Lumina","offers":[{"title":"20x20 cm \/ 8x8″","offer_id":47160265638073,"sku":"GL21211","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"27x35 cm \/ 11x14″","offer_id":47160265670841,"sku":"GL21212","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30x30 cm \/ 12x12″","offer_id":47160265703609,"sku":"GL21213","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30x45 cm \/ 12x18″","offer_id":47160265736377,"sku":"GL21214","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40x40 cm \/ 16x16″","offer_id":47160265769145,"sku":"GL21215","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40x50 cm \/ 16x20″","offer_id":47160265801913,"sku":"GL21216","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x50 cm \/ 20x20″","offer_id":47160265834681,"sku":"GL21217","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x60 cm \/ 20x24″","offer_id":47160265867449,"sku":"GL21218","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60x60 cm \/ 24x24″","offer_id":47160265900217,"sku":"GL21219","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60x80 cm \/ 24x32″","offer_id":47160265932985,"sku":"GL21220","price":139.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/9177\/3369\/files\/31b3fa32-72a7-4021-ade0-f49a050739b1.jpg?v=1778713090","url":"https:\/\/catholicshop.com\/products\/st-claudius-of-besancon-devotional-canvas","provider":"CatholicShop.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
