Beautiful statue of Our Lady of GuadalupeMar 20, 2011
By ana.maria
Having looked at many, many statues of Our Lady of Guadalupe, this one is the only one that ticks all the correct boxes for me. Beautiful colours (slightly brighter than what you see in the picture, which was a bonus) and stunning gold detail on the dress and cloak. This statue reflects a peaceful, pretty looking Virgin Mary; Ive been put off buying other statues because they haven't done justice to her appearance.
Lightweight, but does not look tacky in the slightest. And lastly but quite importantly, there's no arguing with the price!
A NICE RENDITION OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE ...Jul 16, 2011
By Wolfee1
Joseph's Studio Our Lady of Guadalupe Religious Statue, The Virgin of Guadalupe is Mexico and Latin America most popular and Religious and Cultural Image. In December 9 1531 the Virgin Mary Appeared several times to a Mexican Indian Peasant Juan Diego on a Hill in the Desert of Tepeyac near Mexico City and That is where "La Basilica de Guadalupe" is located, one of the most visited Catholic Shrines in the World, visited by millions every year
In 1531 The Virgin Mary Appeared to Juan Diego to prove to all that the Apparitions were real, the Virgin imprinted an Image of herself on Juan Diego's Tilma, a thin cloth made of cactus fibres. This type of Tilma normally decays in 30 to 40 years but Juan Diego's Tilma is still Miraculously intact and the same as it was when he wore it
The first discovery in the imprinted Image of the Virgin Mary on the Tilma, is that of the Stars on the Mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe they have been proven to be in the exact position of the Constellations of the Morning Sky of 1531 by Astronomers
The second discovery is that within her Eyes, there exists the Images of a Family, Juan Diego, Bishop Zummaraga, the interpreter and a few others who were present in the room at the time the Tilma was presented to the Bishop, as if Our Lady of Guadalupe was present in the room. Her Eyes also responds as if they had living Corneas, this has been confirmed by over 10 Ophthalmologists ...
Having said all that, I received the Statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and I was surprised to see her Eyes are Closed! ...I did not noticed that before, I though she was looking down and I wish her Eyes would be open like in the original imprint of the Tilma, also not that many Stars on her Mantle just a few here and there without any specific Design, her face is different than the face of The Virgin of Guadalupe nor the Color of her Skin, she was darker.
This is a Fine Statue a Delicate Rendition, Interpretation of the Original and one of the nicest and most traditional I was able to find. The Statue came very well Packed in a double box via Federal Express without any Problems, and that is always Good. This statue is very Light made of a Resin and Stone Mix and very nicely Painted with the right colors a little brighter than the original, that is. This is for a Birthday Gift and I hope the recipient will like it ...Check Posted Pictures, Thank You
