Sancta Lumina Calendar | 2027 Doctors of the Church Edition
SKU: 5576269_52390
Product Details
Spend a year in the company of the Church's greatest teachers.
For nearly two thousand years, the Church has honored a select company of saints as Doctors of the Church — men and women whose writing, teaching, and holiness of life have illuminated the mind of the faithful and shaped the very substance of Catholic thought. There are only thirty-seven in the whole history of the Church.
This calendar brings twelve of them into your home for the year 2027, one for each month, so that the wisdom of Aquinas, the fire of Catherine of Siena, the trust of the Little Flower, and the mystical vision of John of the Cross may keep company with your daily life.
Each month features an original Sancta Lumina portrait of the saint in the traditional Realist style, paired with an inset holy card showing the saint's feast day, era, patronage, and a personal quote or prayer. The result is more than a calendar: it's a small devotional companion, a reminder every morning of the vast communion of saints who have gone before us and now pray with us before the throne of God.

About the Portraits
Each portrait was carefully directed by our team's research into the saint's life, era, dress, and traditional iconography, and rendered in a traditional Realist style using a combination of hand-drawn art and AI image generation. We chose this approach so we could give every Doctor a portrait that honors both their historical context and their unique gifts to the Church while sharing the same style among all the featured saints.

Testimonials
We love to make you smile! 😊
I've purchased several items from you folks. The quality is unbelievable and the service matches that quality. The prices are so much lower than a standard jewelry store and again the quality is way better. They are outstanding as a gift. Thank you all.
Purchased a rosary for my nephew's confirmation. I had some questions along the way and customer service was very receptive and kind... Hard to find such good customer service these days. It was very refreshing and very much appreciated!
I have ordered a few things from Catholic Shop, including medals with engraving and candles. As for the medals and engraving, super job and very well made and dear to my heart. I can not say enough about Catholic Shop, their customer service and guarantee.
