Grammar
Please help me understand this sentence.
If the mysteries and miracles of Christian belief could be located in everyday settings, their authors* revealed as men and women not unlike the *burgers of Padua or Siena, then their symbolic power could be appropriate to express or legitimate the lifestyle, experience and authority of those burgers.
I couldn't figure out what the "burgers" means in this sentence. I don't think it means a food in this sentence. Any clue and advice would be very helpful.
And I am not sure about the meaning of "their authors" in this sentence. I feel it means the figure painted in the picture or the character described in the literature, not the real author of the picture or the writer. Can this word be understand like this?
Thanks a lot!

"burgers" is another spelling of "burghers", meaning townspeople. I understand "authors" to refer to the people who supposedly performed "mysteries and miracles".
