St. Anthony of Padua with the Christ Child — 6 Inches — Hand-Painted in Italy by Pasquini

He is even nicer in person. ❤️ There is such tenderness in this little statue of St. Anthony holding the Christ Child, with white lilies resting across his arm.

From a now-closed convent, this 6-inch statue retains its underside label identifying it as a hand-painted figure by Pasquini, Italy, with red felt beneath the base.

Many of us turn to St. Anthony when something goes missing—and in a busy household, he certainly hears from us often! But this beloved Franciscan saint offers us much more than help finding misplaced things.

St. Anthony was a gifted preacher and teacher whose deep knowledge of Scripture earned him recognition as a Doctor of the Church. He also championed the poor, reminding us that love for God should find expression in how we care for our neighbors.

The details of this statue tell his story beautifully. The book recalls his devotion to Scripture and teaching; the lilies symbolize purity; and the Christ Child recalls the tradition of a vision in which Anthony held the Infant Jesus.

His dark Franciscan habit, corded waist, and hanging rosary frame the gentle scene. It would make a meaningful addition to a prayer corner, a thoughtful gift for someone devoted to St. Anthony, or a lovely companion beside a favorite Bible.

St. Anthony, pray for us. Help us seek Christ above all things and recognize Him in those who need our love.

Only ONE available.
