Description

Admire the majestic representation of Saint Charbel Makhlouf, sculpted with the meticulous art of Val Gardena. The figure stands in a pose of deep contemplation, enveloped in his monastic habit. The colored finish (option "C") accentuates the nuances of the fabric, transitioning from dark brown in the recesses to lighter shades on the folds, creating an effect of vibrant realism and depth.

Observe the gesture of the right hand, a serene invitation to prayer or a symbol of blessing, while the left holds the Breviary, whose golden cross stands out vividly against the intense red of the cover. Every detail of the serene face and thick white beard is hand-chiseled, conveying the aura of peace and wisdom of the Saint.

This sculpture is a masterpiece of technical precision. Made from precious maple wood for sizes up to 56 cm and sturdy lime wood for larger measurements, each piece is a testament to Dolomitic artisanal excellence. Whether you choose the colored "C" finish, the natural "N", or the particular "3G" in three shades of brown, you will receive a unique piece, imbued with the highest sculptural tradition.

Story
Saint Charbel Maalouf (Joseph Machluf, 1828-1898) was a Lebanese Maronite monk, canonized in 1977. Born into a peasant family, he entered a monastery at the age of 23, taking the name Charbel. He studied theology and was ordained a priest in 1859. From 1875 he lived as a hermit. He died on Christmas Eve of 1898.
His body remained incorrupt, secreting fluids, a phenomenon that was repeated in subsequent reburials. Numerous healings attributed to his intercession soon made him the object of great popular devotion. Beatified in 1965 by Paul VI, he was canonized by the same Pope in 1977.
Saint Charbel is one of the most venerated saints in the East, his image is omnipresent. His feast day is celebrated on July 24. Together with Saint Rebecca Ar Rayès and Saint Nimatullah al-Hardini, he is one of the three Lebanese saints canonized by Rome. His hermit life and his profound spirituality make him an example of faith and devotion.
