St. Francis of Assisi, Patron of Nature, with Lamb and Pheasant. 10 (H) X 4.5 (W) X 1.5 (D) Inches Item Type: Handmade. Each Piece Comes Boxed and with a Card Stating the Following: In 1967, Lynn White Wrote an Article About the Causes of the Ecological Crisis. Although White Argued the Root of the Crisis Was the Christian Dogma of Human Beings' Dominion Over Nature, He Also Looked to One Christian, St. Francis, for Hope. White Wrote: "The Greatest Spiritual Revolutionary in Western History, Saint Francis, Proposed an Alternative Christian View of Nature and Man's Relation to It: He Tried to Substitute the Idea of the Equality of All Creatures, Including Man, for the Idea of Man's Limitless Rule of Creation." There Are Abundant Stories of Francis Being a Close Friend with Animals and Living with Them As Equals: Stories of a Pheasant Who for Years Strolled in and Out of Francis's Cell, of His Bond with the Wolf of Gubbio, of His Ordering Franciscan Brothers to "See to It That the Bees Would Be Provided with Honey in Winter, Lest They Should Die During the Cold Weather," of His Persuading Hunters to Release Turtledoves They Had Caught.... This Statue of Francis Can Go Outside, with the Animals.
House Blessing with Guardian Angels, Handmade Desktop Sculpture 4 3/8 X 4 X 1 ¼ Inches Item Type: Handmade. He Entire Piece Is Handmade, Including the Frame. It Has Designs on Both Sides and Is Made to Stand on a Table, Desk, or Counter. The Tile on the Front Depicts a House, with a Family and Animals on the Porch, with Guardian Angels Above.

In This Tableau a Family (A Couple, a Child, a Cat, a Dog) Are in the Midst of Their Day-to-day Lives As Two Angels, Assisted By a Wise Owl, Watch Over Them, Keeping Them Safe.
Sts. Martha and Mary: Patrons of Sisters & Friends. 4 (H) X 2.5 (W) X .75 (D) Inches Item Type: Handmade. Ach Piece Comes Boxed and with a Card Stating the Following: Luke's Gospel (10:38-42) Shows the Sisters Martha and Mary As Having Distinctly Different Inclinations. In the Story, Jesus Comes Through Bethany, Enters the House Where the Sisters Live, and Begins to Talk. Mary Sits At Jesus' Feet and Listens to Him, While Martha Goes to Prepare Food and Is "Distracted with Much Serving." the Story Thus Shows the Sisters Responding to the Situation Very Differently. But Other Biblical Stories Depict the Sisters Acting in Consort. Thus It Would Seem That the Two Sisters/friends Do What Friends with Seemingly Differing Personalities Often Do: They, Yinning and Yanging, Ultimately Complement One Another, Forming a Unity From Diversity. In the Image, Martha, to the Left, Holds a Platter Upon Which Rests a Tiny Fish; to the Right Is Mary, Holding a Book Inscribed with the Greek Letters Alpha and Omega
St. Therese: Patron of Flower-growers and ''The Little Way'. 7.5 (H) X 4 (W) X 2 (D) Item Type: Handmade Each Piece Comes Boxed and with a Card Stating the Following: Thérèse of Lisieux (1873-97) Was a Carmelite Nun Who Died in Obscurity At the Age of 24. She Became Known to the World After Her Death When Her Spiritual Autobiography (The Story of a Soul) Was Published. The Book Became Hugely Popular in Part Because Thérèse, in Contrast to the Then-dominant Catholic Practice, Offered a Spirituality Based on Finding God and the Holy in the Most Mundane and Human Acts and Situations: Scrubbing Floors, Tilling Earth, Suffering. This Is Her "Little Way," a Path of "Holiness in Everyday Life," a "Way of Spiritual Childhood." in This Handmade Statue, Thérèse Has Roses in Her Right Hand and At Her Feet. Her Association with Roses Comes Largely From Something She Said: "After My Death I Will Let Fall a Shower of Roses. I Will Spend My Heaven in Doing Good Upon Earth." This Promise Is the Basis of the Thousands of Miracles That Have Been Attributed to Her. The Bird Perched on Her Left Hand Is a Symbol of Those Who, Like Thérèse, Are Able to Fuse the Spiritual (The Air, the Heavens) and the Tasks of Everyday Life on Earth. The Piece Can Go Outside.
