About the Item

This 20th century Saint Benedict polychrome wooden statue radiates an aura of tranquility and wisdom, making it a cherished piece of sacred art. Standing 84 cm tall, the statue depicts Saint Benedict holding the Book of the Rule and a crosier, with a raven carrying bread at his feet — each element rich in symbolism. Saint Benedict: A Pillar of Monasticism Born in Nursia, Italy (480 AD), Saint Benedict is known as the father of Western monasticism. His Rule of Saint Benedict established guiding principles for monastic life, emphasizing prayer, work, and community, which profoundly shaped Christianity. Symbolism and Significance: - The Book of the Rule represents Saint Benedict's spiritual teachings. - The Crosier symbolizes his authority as an abbot. - The Raven with Bread, a sign of divine providence and sustenance. A Treasured Religious Artifact: More than a decorative item, this Saint Benedict statue embodies faith, guidance, and devotion. A meaningful piece for collectors, churches, and devout individuals, it serves as a lasting tribute to the legacy of Saint Benedict.
