Saint Andrew, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, is a prominent figure in Christianity. Brother of Peter, he was originally a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee and, according to the Gospel of John, was among the first to follow Jesus. His life was marked by a deep commitment to spreading the Christian message, travelling through different regions, including Greece, where he is said to have suffered martyrdom. St Andrew is often depicted with an X-shaped cross, known as the ‘cross of St Andrew’, a symbol of his martyrdom as, according to tradition, he was crucified on such a cross.
His name day is celebrated on 30 November, a date that gathers many believers and onlookers. An interesting peculiarity is that St Andrew is considered the patron saint of fishermen and weavers, two trades that symbolically recall his life and sacrifice.
To celebrate and honour his figure, Dolfi has created a series of maple wood sculptures, available in various sizes. These sculptures are skilfully handcrafted, highlighting every detail of his iconic cross and expression of serene devotion. These works of art not only enrich spaces with a touch of spirituality, but are also a tribute to St Andrew's dedication and courage.
