Large St. Anthony with the Christ Child — From a Closed Convent — 12 Inches

Some treasures arrive looking nearly new. Others arrive with chipped paint, worn edges, and a tenderness that makes you stop and look a little longer. This St. Anthony is one of those. ❤️

From a now-closed Catholic convent, this 12-inch statue depicts St. Anthony holding an open book, with the Christ Child nestled close against him. Little Jesus holds a spray of lilies, while a rosary and knotted cord hang against the saint’s brown Franciscan habit.

Look at the way their heads lean toward one another. Such a gentle scene.

We don’t know where he stood within the convent or how many sisters passed him each day, but it is moving to think of this devotional treasure finding a new home where he can continue to be cherished.

Condition: This piece is offered in its visibly worn condition; please examine the photograph carefully. For someone who appreciates timeworn devotional pieces, that weathered appearance may be part of its appeal.

Only ONE available.
