This book examines the origins, development and history of the cult
of Saint Catherine of Siena. Gerald Parsons argues that the cult of
Catherine of Siena constitutes a remarkable example of the cult of
a particular saint which, across more than six centuries, has been
the vehicle for an evolving sequence of civil religious rituals and
meanings. He shows how the cult of this particular saint developed,
firstly, as an expression of Sienese civil religion; secondly, as a
focus for Italian civil religion; and finally into an expression of
European civil religion. Instead of the predominantly devotional -
and frequently essentially hagiographical - approach of much of the
literature on Catherine of Siena, Parsons examines the significance
of her cult from the perspective of civil religion and the social
history of religion.
