A hagiography is the theatrical biography that stages virtue and miracles upon the altar of faith. It often gilds its protagonists’ lives with miraculous embellishments, turning history into moral fairy tales. Saints become living cushions of collective guilt, absorbing human doubts through their ascetic feats and martyrdom. In these narratives, truth bows to piety and exemplarity, satisfying believers’ craving for moral reassurance. Ultimately, hagiographies serve as elaborate stage props in the grand pageant of religious approval.
