The Three Shepherds with Our Lady of Fatima, painted resin statue, 10 in

The Three Shepherds with Our Lady of Fatima, painted resin statue, 10 in. This statue portrays the three shepherds of Fatima praying in front of Our Lady of Fatima, surrounded by a natural setting reminiscent of the landscape of the apparition era. The three children, Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia, are depicted in a devout attitude, with delicate expressions conveying faith and spirituality. The details of their clothing, postures, and surroundings are meticulously crafted to offer a realistic and meaningful representation of the Marian event. The apparition of Our Lady of Fatima took place in 1917 in Portugal, where the Virgin appeared to the three shepherds, entrusting them with a message of prayer, penance, and conversion. Their story is now one of the most well-known and beloved in the Catholic world, and the Sanctuary of Fatima has become one of the most important Marian pilgrimage sites. This statue is crafted in Italy by a company specialising in the production of sacred statues, in operation since 1900. The skilled figurine makers from Lucca, with their artisanal expertise, hand-paint each piece, making every statue unique and full of detail. Perfect for churches, chapels, and personal prayer corners, it is also a wonderful gift idea for the devout. Statue dimensions: 10.2x5.3x2.4 in. Made in Italy.
