Faith, Hope and Charity are sometimes called “theological virtues” because Christians believe they are gifts from God. These virtues have traditionally been portrayed in human form, each accompanied by an appropriate attribute.  

Charity is believed to be the greatest of the virtues, embodying both the love of God and others.
