Image of Saint Therese

A beautiful resin statue of Saint Therese, produced by Lírio do Vale Artigos Religiosos. It is a devotional piece full of meaning. The black veil represents her perpetual vows of poverty, obedience and chastity. In the Carmelite Order, the brown habit symbolizes poverty and unwavering faith in Jesus. The crucifix next to her chest represents her suffering and the love she had for the Passion of Christ. The roses she holds symbolize a promise she made before she died: "I will make a rain of roses fall upon the world!" The flowers refer to Saint Therese's intercession for all those who ask her in prayer.
