| Our Lady of the Smile Statue This superior quality statue of Our Lady of the Smile from Italy is made of ivory alabaster that rests on a marble base. It is a copy of an statue that was originally created by world-famous sculptor, A. Santini. Statue with base as pictured measures approximately 10" tall. When Saint Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower, was very young, her mother died and Therese became very ill. In her room was a statue of Mary that was similar to the statue shown here. As the family was praying at her bedside, Therese had the experience of the statue coming to life and smiling at her and she was instantly healed. Since then, this statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary has been known as "Our Lady (Virgin) of the Smile". This beautiful statue of the Blessed Mother is a source of solace and peace for many, especially those who are sick or infirmed. Many Catholic women, young and older, are also drawn to it because of its graceful, peaceful and comforting demeanor. It also makes a lovely Confirmation gift. Note: ivory statue is out of stock until January 2012. $69.00
