Saint Therese (feast day: October 1) of the Child Jesus and of the Holy Face was born in France in 1873 and was baptized with the name Marie Francoise Therese. Therese entered the Carmelites at the age of fifteen. During the nine years she spent in the convent she apparently never did anything. Remarkable, but her writings were simply amazing. Sister Thereses's “Little Way” of spiritual childhood, has become a pattern for millions of people. Graces without number are attributed to her intercession in Heaven and she is the Saint of an era.
This finely detailed statue has been expertly sculpted by Barbara Tortolani, a New England artisan noted for exquisite life-like detail that she portrays in all her creations. The statue is crafted in cold cast resin and hand painted for fine detail resulting in a venerable gift to be always cherished.
