Saint Ignatius, painted resin statue, 10 in

Saint Ignatius, painted resin statue, 10 in.

This statue is made of resin and marble powder, with hand-finished details to enhance its expressiveness and artisanal quality. The saint is depicted wearing the traditional Jesuit habit, a symbol of his role as founder of the Society of Jesus. In his hands he holds a pilgrim's staff and a rosary, while on his shoulder he carries a sack, signs that recall his life of sacrifice and service. 

The staff represents his long spiritual pilgrimage, during which he renounced military life to devote himself to prayer and conversion. The rosary symbolises his deep devotion to the Virgin Mary, to whom he consecrated himself before beginning his mission. The sack on his shoulders recalls his choice of poverty and detachment from material goods, entrusting himself completely to providence and living as a beggar before founding the Jesuit order. 

Saint Ignatius of Loyola was the founder of the Society of Jesus, a religious order founded in 1534 for evangelisation and education. His main work, the spiritual exercises, is still a point of reference for prayer and spiritual discernment today. 

This statue is produced by a historic Italian company, active since 1900, specialised in the creation of sacred statues. The expert figurine makers of Lucca, with their craftsmanship, paint and finish each piece by hand, guaranteeing a unique product with attention to the smallest details. 

Perfect for churches, chapels and prayer environments, it is also an excellent religious gift idea, ideal for those inspired by the spirituality of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and his teachings.
