Description

Be inspired by the majesty of Saint Theodore the Bishop, a sacred work of art that embodies the devotion and sculptural tradition of Val Gardena. This magnificent figure, hand-carved with an upright and dynamic pose, catches the eye thanks to the sumptuousness of his ecclesiastical vestments.

The artist used a rich polychrome finish that gives depth and vibrancy to the sculpture: the crimson red of the chasuble harmonizes with the bright yellow-gold finishes, while the details of the crozier and miter are embellished with meticulous gilding that simulates their preciousness. The face, framed by a thick dark beard, expresses deep contemplation, with his gaze turned upwards, an invitation to spirituality.

Each piece is a testament to the skill of our sculptors. For sizes up to 56cm, the statue is made of maple wood, known for its fine grain and its ability to retain the smallest details. For larger sizes (starting from 60cm), we use linden wood, ideal for ensuring stability and workability on large formats. A masterpiece that combines material excellence with the highest artistic expression.

Detail & Meaning
S. Teodoro con libro e spada:
1) Elementi: Libro (Parola di Dio/Saggezza), Spada (Fede/Martirio).
2) Significato: Teodoro, warrior saint, defender of the faith armed with the divine Word and ready for sacrifice.
Story
Saint Theodore, venerated as a martyr, is often identified with Saint Theodore of Amasea or Saint Theodore Stratelates. His story, although with some variations, tells of a valiant Roman soldier who, having converted to Christianity, refused to sacrifice to idols, undergoing a terrible martyrdom. He is the patron saint of soldiers, knights and Venice, where his relics were brought. His figure symbolizes unwavering faith and courage in the face of persecution.
