Made in Portugal Ceramic Saint Anthony Religious Statue Figurine

Product Description

Saint Anthony is beloved all over the world for many reasons. He was an exceptional preacher, and he had an undying love for the poor and sick. He is the Saint patron of Portugal and a symbol of paternity and therefore is connected to Father’s Day.

Our ceramic figurine, 100% handmade with sustainable materials, is a more modern take on the representation of this dear saint and is the perfect way of showing your faith and the values of kindness that Saint Anthony had.

The poem "O Passeio de Santo António" (St. Anthony's Walk") by the Portuguese poet Augusto Gil (1873 - 1929) was an inspiration to the artist whose father recited it to her as a child. Aware of how close this saint is to the heart of the Portuguese people, with this piece Mané Pupo intends to give back a human face to this "good monk", representing him in common daily scenes, in which we all recognize ourselves.

It is also the sweetest present you can offer your loved one to honor their devotion and to celebrate all the wonderful things they do for other people.

Portuguese artist Mané Pupo hand carves the original of each Rosa Malva sculptures, promoting love and affections through tender ceramic sculptures. Our pieces are packed with care in a beautiful gift box to celebrate Joy and Love with those who receive it.
