Beautiful large church statue of 'Thérèse of Lisieux' -
Beautiful statue of Thérèse of Lisieux. Made of plaster and beautifully painted. She is one of the patron saints from France, from Lisieux and from the mission. Her help is invoked for all kinds of situations. In the beginning of our century the worship of this saint expanded ferociously across the Catholic world. To this day there are many statues of her in numerous churches. She is portrayed as a Carmelite with roses in her arms. The reason for this is that he promised on her deathbed that she would have roses rain from the sky.According to many witnesses at the time this is indeed what happened. For years this statue was in the chapel of a monastery in the region of ROUEN in France. It is in good condition, but hassome wear from religious use over time, see photos. Unfortunately, the time of the great monasteries is over, and this one has also closed its doors. This statue deserves a beautiful new home!!
