St. Jude     -     4’ (h) x 2’ (w) x 2’ (d)     -     Bronze     -     St Paul Catholic Church     -     Pensacola, FL

 

This pose depicts the miracle cure from the divine image of Christ. In keeping with the gothic theme of the church I based the “drawing” of Jesus on a sketch of Christ by Leonardo de Vinci. On the left hem of Jude is a “white” rose. This symbolizes Jude’s kinship to Mary. Just like the sculpture of St. Peregrine, the St. Jude statue is placed on a 4’ pedestal beside a large stained glass window of the same subject.
