NEW HAND CARVED WOODEN BISHOP PATRON SAINT AMBROSE AMBROSIUS STATUE SCULPTURE Polychrome finish, painted and 24 carat gold plated by hand. Reflecting personally on the saint: Bishop Saint Ambrose, also known as Ambrosius, was a truly remarkable figure in early Christian history, whose influence resonates even today. Born around 340 AD in what is now Germany, he eventually became the Bishop of Milan in 374 AD, a role he was somewhat reluctantly thrust into. Imagine the surprise—Ambrose was not yet baptized when he was chosen by the people of Milan to be their bishop, largely due to his impressive diplomatic skills and moral standing. As bishop, Ambrose became known for his deep faith, eloquence, and formidable intellect. He was a staunch defender of the Church's independence from the secular rulers of the time, often clashing with emperors over matters of principle and faith. His courage in standing up to imperial power is the stuff of legend, particularly his confrontations with Emperor Theodosius I over issues of justice and morality. Ambrose was also a compassionate spiritual leader who had a profound impact on his contemporaries, including Saint Augustine of Hippo, whom he personally helped convert to Christianity. Imagine the depth of their discussions and the spiritual bond that must have formed as Ambrose guided Augustine on his journey to faith! His contributions to theology and church liturgy are immense, including promoting the practice of antiphonal chant, a method of responsive singing that enriches worship and is still used today. His writings, filled with wisdom and insight, continue to be studied for their theological depth and rhetorical brilliance. Saint Ambrose's legacy is one of a wise, courageous, and compassionate leader, steadfast in his convictions and devoted to his faith and flock. His life serves as a powerful reminder of the impact one dedicated individual can have on the world around them. Dimensions available: 9"12" 16" 24"* *Please contact me!
