Saint Anthony Statue with Child Jesus – Hand-Painted Resin 13.5 cm

Saint Anthony of Padua, a gentle presence for prayer

This 13.5 cm Saint Anthony of Padua statue brings a tender and instantly recognisable devotional scene into your home. The Franciscan friar carefully holds the Child Jesus, seated upon a book, while his open hand appears to invite trust, generosity and sharing.

Its small size allows this representation to remain close at hand even where space is limited. It becomes a discreet visual reminder to pause during a busy day and find a few moments for prayer.

A finely hand-painted resin statue

The deep brown of the Franciscan habit contrasts beautifully with the Child Jesus’ ivory robe. Fine golden accents highlight the outlines, book and selected details of the clothing. The dark rosary, ending in a small cross, hangs down the robe of Saint Anthony.

Made from hand-painted resin, the statue features expressive faces and numerous sculpted details despite its compact height of 13.5 cm. Its integrated base allows it to stand securely on a stable surface.

A representation rich in Christian symbolism

Saint Anthony wears the brown habit of the Franciscan friars, symbolising humility, voluntary poverty and closeness to the most vulnerable. His open hand can evoke welcome, generosity and his concern for people in need.

The Child Jesus recalls the tradition that Christ appeared to Saint Anthony as a child. Seated upon the book, Jesus also highlights the importance of the Gospel, teaching and the Word of God in the life of the saint, who was renowned as an outstanding preacher.

The rosary worn by Saint Anthony evokes regular prayer and Marian devotion. Traditionally invoked when something has been lost, Saint Anthony remains above all a figure of trust, active faith and charity, without this statue constituting any promise of a particular favour.

Where can this statue be displayed or given?

Place it in a prayer corner beside a Bible, rosary or candle, or display it on a shelf, bedside table or small home altar. Its compact size also makes it suitable for a bedroom or office.
