Jesus Crucified on Cross, "Christ Embraced by St. Francis Assisi", 13.2" Carving

This 13.2" Jesus Crucified on Cross statue is a unique, holy land olive wood carving of Jesus Christ embraced by Saint Francis Assisi. Crafted by skilled Christian artisans from Bethlehem this statue celebrates faith and tradition. Each statue is one of a kind, adding a special touch to any home or church. L 5.5" x W 5.1" x H 13.2" As you can see, this intricately detailed olive wood statue shows Saint Francis embracing Jesus Christ and helping him off the the cross. What makes this sculpture even more extraordinary is the story it is based on, which goes as follows: When St. Francis was praying in solitary at a simple church (the church of St. Damien) outside the walls of Assisi, he had a vision of Jesus Christ intensely looking down at him from the Sand Damiano Cross with “burning love” and said, “Francis, go and repair my church” three times. This remarkable wooden carving reminds us of the suffering Jesus has endured before he died on the cross, and of God’s pouring love for us.
