Product Details
St. Cecilia is a famous martyr often said to be responsible for the importance and central role of music in the liturgy. This lovely St. Cecilia statue stands 8-1/2 inches high, is made of resin and finished with hand painting in bright red and white colors which beautifully contrast against each other. She is often designed holding musical instruments such as organ pipes as she appears to be doing in this statue. The statue features fine and intricate detailing as can be seen, in particular, in the flow of her robes, the detailing on the pipes, her shoes and hair. The St. Cecilia statue is designed in such a way that you get a sense that she is swaying to the music she is playing.
St. Cecilia is often quoted as saying that at her wedding when musicians were playing, she "sang in her heart to the Lord". It is felt her story is fictional, but her existence and martyrdom are considered to be fact. Her marriage was never consummated, and her husband and his brother converted to the Catholic faith. They were executed shortly before she was put to death by beheading. She is said to be the first saint to experience incorruption of the body. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians, and many musical festivals are held on her feast day of November 22.
