WIKISANCTI

Recognizing and describing saints, name days, terms from Christian art

WIKISANCTI is an app on Christian art and culture: short, simple, factual, condensed, Christian representations and saints are described based on their attributes and symbols.

Terms from Christian religion, art and culture are explained.

Photos show the variety.

We find Christian representations and saints everywhere: in churches, on houses, on bridges, on frescoes and paintings, on epitaphs and sarcophagi, on reliquaries, on flags, in coats of arms. Monuments and sculptures can also represent saints. They accompany us everywhere. We often do not see them, do not recognize them and if they do, we do not know what their meaning is.

Attributes and symbols can give the answer. They replace words, they replace reading. They tell the story and the content of the presentation.

We want to impart knowledge about sacred art and culture:

arouse curiosity, sharpen your eyes, understand the meaning, discover the connections. We want to promote awareness, understanding and responsibility for our cultural heritage.
