A hand-painted resin figurine

This small religious resin statue depicts Saint Bernadette standing with her hands joined in prayer. Her gold-coloured rosary hangs over her richly coloured clothing, while a sheep rests on a bundle of straw at her feet.

Each detail makes the young shepherdess of Lourdes immediately recognisable. As the statue is painted by hand, every piece has its own handcrafted character, and slight variations in colour or finish may naturally occur.

The symbolism of Saint Bernadette and the sheep

Bernadette Soubirous was born into a poor family in Lourdes. In 1858, while gathering firewood near the Grotto of Massabielle, she reported seeing the Virgin Mary on several occasions. The sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes later became an important destination for pilgrimage and prayer.

The sheep at her feet recalls her childhood and the periods during which she tended flocks. It symbolises a simple life close to nature, as well as the humility of the young woman who received the apparitions without seeking recognition or honour.

The rosary of Saint Bernadette also holds essential meaning. It evokes Marian prayer, faithfulness and trust. Her joined hands invite you to step away from the distractions of daily life, rediscover inner silence and present your intentions to God.
