NEW HAND CARVED WOOD NUN PATRON SAINT GERTRUDE THE GREAT STATUE SCULPTURE FIGURE Polychrome finish, painted and 24 carat gold plated by hand. Reflecting personally on the saint: Saint Gertrude the Great was a German Benedictine nun, mystic, and theologian, celebrated for her deep spiritual writings and insights. Born on January 6, 1256, in Eisleben, Germany, she entered the Benedictine monastery at Helfta at a young age, where she spent most of her life. Gertrude was an exceptionally gifted student, particularly in philosophy and theology. Her spiritual life was profoundly deepened in her mid-twenties when she began experiencing visions and divine revelations. These experiences shifted her academic pursuits more towards theology and spirituality. She is best known for her major work, "The Herald of Divine Love," which consists of her spiritual insights, her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and her mystical experiences. This work also includes her prayers and reflections which have been influential in Christian mysticism. Saint Gertrude the Great is venerated as a saint in both the Roman Catholic and Anglican traditions. She is often invoked for souls in purgatory and is known for her fervent devotion to the Sacred Heart, a devotion that emphasizes the unmitigated love, compassion, and long-suffering of the heart of Christ towards humanity. Her feast day is celebrated on November 16th, and she is considered one of the great mystics of the 13th century. Gertrude's contributions to Christian spirituality, particularly her focus on the heart of Jesus, have had a lasting impact on Christian devotion and theology.
