Saint Germanus of Capua in a scene from the Dialogues

The image shows a wooden relief depicting Saint Benedict’s vision of the soul of Germanus ascending among angels. The scene draws on an account handed down by Gregory the Great and may appeal to someone who appreciates narrative religious images. The design lets you dedicate the gift to the bishop and explain how the image relates to the tradition about him.

Germanus was bishop of Capua, in Campania, during the first half of the sixth century. His name appears in Gregory the Great’s Dialogues, where he is linked with Benedict of Nursia and accounts of life after death. The saint’s memory continued to develop in the communities that maintained his cult. This background can give meaning to the gift for someone interested in early Christian literature and the images that grew out of it.
