About this book
Thanks to books and films like The Da Vinci Code and its sequel Angels and Demons interest in secret religious symbols has never been greater. This carefully researched guide takes the reader into some of the worlds most famous churches decoding messages that are hidden in plain sight-in stained-glass windows statuary patterned flooring ornamentation and even the buildings architectural design: Why do fierce beasts and grotesque faces peer from the walls? Who chose to depict one particular saint and not another? Whats the significance of an eagle? A dragon? A pelican? No one who reads this book will ever again experience a visit to a cathedral in quite the same way.
