St. Jude Devotional Statue

A serene, honey toned statue of St. Jude, perfect for a prayer corner, bedside table, or family altar. He is depicted holding the traditional medallion with the face of Christ and a pilgrim's staff, a reminder that even in the most impossible situations, we are never alone.

Historical Details

While there are no markings to identify a specific manufacturer this style is consistent with

• Mid-century devotional statuary (1950s-1980s) 

• Often made from resin, plaster, or chalkware

• Produced for Catholic home altars during the rise of affordable religious goods in the U.S. and Europe

• The smooth ochre finish is typical of older chapel-style pieces, reminiscent of carved stone or beeswax candles

Historically, Saint Jude is depicted holding the Holy Face of Christ - a reference to early Christian tradition in which he carried an image of Jesus to a king who sought miraculous healing. This statue reflects that classic iconography, common in mid-century devotional artwork.
