Saint Jude is the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes. He is often depicted carrying an image of Jesus in his hand or close to his chest, and with a flame above his head, representing his receipt of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. This incredibly detailed statue of St. Jude is a wonderful addition to your home or office. Made of cold cast resin, it stands just over 8 inches tall, is 3 inches wide, and is 2 1/4 inches deep. This piece has a beautiful bronze finish, accented by subtle hints of color to emphasize the details in the folds of the robe, the flame above his head, and the golden medallion he wears around his neck. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone who could use a miracle. NOTE: Please take care in removing your statue from the package, the staff is delicate.
