The Catholic Church has used symbols from its very beginnings. Each saint has a story and a reason why he or she led an exemplary life. Symbols have been used to tell these stories throughout the history of the Church. A number of Christian Saint s are traditionally represented by a symbol or icon affiliated with their life, in order to identify them. These symbols are not necessarily universal to all traditions of Christianity that might venerate a given saint. The lives of most saints are far removed from an ordinary worshipper’s life. The use of a symbol with a statue, or Icon , of a saint reminds people who is being shown and of their story. The following is a list of some of those symbols.
