catholic statue

I would also like to find a photo of it. Apparently my husband's ancestor was responsible for this and we just recently found out. I know it was carved in Germany and brought to Canada. I do not know who did the carving and why.

I suggest you contact the parish directly.

With love in Christ.

to JESUS. If worshiping her in the cadre of Mother of Jesus, even in a idol or statue shape also, why you hate them? I feel the Catholics are more purified people. Why not follow their way?
Just imagine without Mary's giving milk to Jesus, without serving him with all patience when he was months old, without taking utmost care like eye-lid, how jesus grown? She must the first to respect.

Perhaps it is because most people are misinformed.
I am a Roman Chatolic. We do not worship Mary as we do Jesus, who is one part of the holy Triity. We venrate her or hold her in the highest possible respect. We do not pray to her as we do to Jesus. We ask ask her to interven for us. We do not worship the statue of Mary, we use is a visual learning tool. Just as most religons use the picture of Jesus and the the concived image of God.

Thank you for the your opinion of Catholic. You are obiously a good Christian.

Price: $30.00

statue is of St.Theres of Liseux

I would guess a person. It sounds like the last name of someone. If it were a company, you might see symbols like ©, ™, ®, or something to that effect.

Statue
Every DiGiovanni Statue arrives in a classically elegant gift box stamped with the DiGiovanni logo. -- Resin -- 8" H

It's something like "invokational" or "appreciational" or something.

Or maybe it doesn't end in "ational" but it means like a statuette that helps you remember and worship or something. It doesn't necessarily have to be Catholic, but I can't think of others who use the little statuettes.

I've trying to remember this word for 24 hours and I keep searching the internet, but it's not giving me the right word. I'll remember it when I see it.

They're merely called statuettes. I used to have a tin one of St. Elizabeth Seton.

I think the word you're thinking of is devotional, but that would not be the proper name for the item. A devotional is more along the lines of the prayers that one says when wearing a scapular, or when saying a novena.

OK I have a question for you all, I'm in possession of a small statue that I have no idea of the history of, thought one of you out there could clue me in.

The statue http://picasaweb.google.com/nascat/Statue was apparently a commemorative from Jubilee 2000, the bottom is inscribe "Iubilaeum AD 2000", there are three figures, the one on the left is female and is holding a Mug and a Loaf of Bread, we think this is St. Martha, the figure in the center is male, he has the bald tonsure of a Franciscan, we think this is St. Francis, the figure on the right is male has a Cross Breastplate and is holding a large sword, we think this is either St. George or St. Michael the Arch Angel..

What are your thoughts on this, who are the figures, what do the three together represent?


Thank You,

Michael
Through some help from a friend and closer examination of the piece we determine that the first figure is St. Elizabeth of Hungary, she fed the hungry and lepers, the cord around her waist has the three knots and she was a Third Order Franciscan.
The second figure is of course St. Francis, the one on the right turns out to be female, so she must be Joan of Arc, I don't know is she followed the Franciscans but she also has a cord belt with three knots.
I still don't know the significance of the piece, but I'm learning a little at a time, that’s for the help.
Sorry for all the misspellings in the above.

Good call, from what I can see - but the armed figure would be St George, going by the type of cross on the breastplate - a "St George's Cross".
Having said that: -
But, the hair and the little coronet do suggest it could be (ex-St) Joan of Arc, who was shown with a surcoat with a cross on it.
And there is something on the other woman's head as well, which makes it hard to say it is Martha.
And St Francis is freequently shown with three knots in the cord around his waist (Poverty, Chastity and Obedience - or the Trinity), still worn by Franciscan monks and nuns.

Sorry I can't confirm anything for sure.
(Cute how the souvenir was made in atheistic China, don't you think?)
