NEW HAND CARVED WOODEN NUN PATRON SAINT MARIA CRESCENTIA STATUE SCULPTURE FIGURE Polychrome finish, painted and 24 carat gold plated by hand. Reflecting personally on the saint: Saint Maria Crescentia Höss, also known as Crescentia of Kaufbeuren, was a German Franciscan nun celebrated for her deep spirituality, practical wisdom, and the mystical experiences that marked her life. Born Anna Höss on October 20, 1682, in Kaufbeuren, Bavaria, she grew up in a modest family and faced significant hardships from an early age. Despite her initial desire to join the religious life, Maria Crescentia faced obstacles due to her family's poverty and lack of dowry, which was required at the time. Eventually, she was admitted to the Franciscan convent of Kaufbeuren in 1703 as a lay sister, where she was initially given menial tasks. Her profound humility, patience, and deep devotion gradually earned her the admiration of her community, and she was later allowed to take her vows as a nun. In 1741, she was elected as the abbess of her convent, a position she held until her death. During her tenure, she was known for her wise and compassionate leadership, her commitment to the care of the sick, and her spiritual guidance both to her fellow nuns and to laypeople who sought her counsel. Maria Crescentia's life was also marked by visions and mystical experiences, which she documented in her extensive correspondence. These writings provide insight into her spiritual thoughts and have been a source of inspiration for many. She died on April 5, 1744, and was canonized by Pope John Paul II on November 25, 2001. Saint Maria Crescentia Höss is celebrated for her exemplary life of virtue, her spiritual insights, and her role as a model of Franciscan spirituality. Her feast day is celebrated on April 5th.
