Our carved walnut statue depicts Saint Anthony of Padua. He is depicted here in his traditional representation, holding the Child resting on the Book. According to tradition, while he was praying in his cell, the Child Jesus appeared to Anthony, illuminating the room with a divine light. This vision symbolizes his deep love for Christ and his humility.
Christian iconography has preserved this image to illustrate his spiritual closeness to Jesus and his role as a powerful intercessor, particularly for lost causes and misplaced objects.
The eyes of our figures are made of glass, giving a sense of presence to our group.
