Saints & Angels

Just arrived at Pomegranate: the last of our favorite hand-carved wood angels and saints. This is all we can get, because sadly, the vendor is going out of business. So we scooped up what we could, got a little discount, and are passing it all on to you. Until they're gone, these charming saints and angels are 20% off. Hand-crafted in Mexico of reclaimed wood, we have St. Fiacre (with spade), St. Francis (with bread) and angels in several sizes.

Saint Fiacre's story: born in Ireland, he sailed to France seeking solitude. He asked the bishop for some land to grow food and herbs, and the bishop said he could have as much land as he could turn up in one day. The following day Fiacre walked the perimeter of the land he desired, dragging his spade behind him. Wherever is staff touched, the brush and trees were cleared and the soil was turned. The miracle of the gardener!

Saint Francis adored all the plants and animals on earth. Typically he is seen gazing down on some of the creatures he protects, but in this version, he is holding a loaf of bread, perhaps in admiration of the precious grains used to make it.
