Saint Benedict Statue

Taken from the facade of the Church of Our Lady of Einsiedeln at Saint Meinrad Archabbey, this statue reproduces a sculpture carved by Herman Jogerst, a German prisoner of war whose works grace the grounds and buildings of Saint Meinrad. This 10 3/4" high stone resin statue depicts Saint Benedict, Patriarch of Western Monks and author of The Rule of Benedict. This lovely piece is accompanied by a brief account of the life of Saint Benedict and a prayer composed by one of the monks at Saint Meinrad Archabbey. Gift packaged.
