Madonna Blessed Mother of The Immaculate Conception Statue

Immaculate Conception of Madonna Statue with very good crafted details and color combination, features a realistic depiction of the Virgin Mary and Child Baby. The full name of this statue is The Blessed Mother of The Immaculate Conception. The Immaculate Conception is a Catholic dogma, proclaimed by Pope Pius IX on 8 December 1854 with the bull Ineffabilis Deus, which establishes how the Virgin Mary was preserved immune from original sin from the first moment of her conception, this dogma should not be confused with the virginal conception of Jesus by Mary. The dogma of the Immaculate Conception concerns original sin, for the Catholic Church, in fact, every human being is born with original sin and only the Mother of Christ was exempt from it, in view of the Messiah‘s coming and mission on Earth, God therefore pleased that the Virgin should be the sinless abode to keep the divine Son made man in her womb in a worthy and perfect way. The Catholic Church celebrates the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 8 December.

In Catholic devotion the Immaculate Conception is connected with the apparitions of Lourdes (1858) and iconographically with the previous apparitions of Rue du Bac in Paris (1830). To underline the importance of dogma, the Catholic Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary on 8 December with the Mass Gaudens Gaudens. This holiday was already celebrated in the East in the 8th century, and was imported to southern Italy by Byzantine monks. In Sicily, in particular, the theme of the Immaculate Conception was immediately accepted and became very much felt even before the definition of the dogma. In 1439, at the Council of Basel it was the archbishop of Palermo, Niccolò Tedeschi, who claimed that Mary was conceived without sin. The canon and historian Antonino Mongitore says that even as early as 1323 “la Concezione di Maria” was a feast of precept in Palermo, thus certifying that her devotion in the Sicilian capital was even then so ancient as to “not know the beginning“. The Senate of the island vowed to defend the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception and undertook to honor the feast with a worthy celebration.

Thus originated the “one hundred ounce rite“, a sum donated to the convent of San Francesco initially to furnish the Senatorial Chapel, one of the identifying moments of the city of Palermo. The Senate (now the Municipality) still renewed every year the solemn bloody vow, pronounced for the first time in 1624 and common to most of the island, swearing with a report to shed its blood for the defense of the Immaculate Conception, primary and main Patroness of the City and of the Archdiocese of Palermo, who became the highest patroness of the Sicilian Region. From the south, the cult of the Immaculate Conception then spread to the whole West, especially on the initiative of the Benedictine and Carmelite religious orders. She was included in the calendar of the universal Church by Pope Alexander VII with the bull Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum of 8 December 1661.

Eve in The Garden of Eden Statue, Symbolic, Religious & Christianity Statues, Eva the Apple and the Snake Statue

Eve “the Apple and the Snake” in The Garden of Eden Statue

Eve in The Garden of Eden Statue, crafted by Master Artisan, made of high quality cold cast resin with a unique bronze powder finish. Intricately sculpted antique bronze and lightly colored finish makes this Eve’s statue a stand out piece. In Abrahamic religion, Adam and Eve are the first humans. In Islam, Adam is considered to be a prophet. In the Bible, Eve was the first woman, created from one of Adam’s ribs. God told Adam and Eve that they could eat the fruit from any tree except one. Tempted by a Serpent, Eve eats the forbidden fruit, and then convinces Adam to do the same. This angered God, who cast them from the Garden of Eden, condemning Adam to a life of hard labor and Eve to create new life through painful childbirth. This statue of Eve with the Serpent is made of cold cast resin, it has a bronzed finish to give it the look of metal, and has hand-painted accents to show incredible detail.

Eve was the first woman and second human, created by God from the rib of Adam, specifically to be his wife. Originally known as “Ishsha” (Heb.: woman, wife), for Adam perceived that she had been taken from the man (Ish: man, husband), he would later name her “Chawah” (“hard” aitch), as the “mother of all living” from the verb “chaya” (to be). Created on the sixth day with her husband, she completed the creative work of God. He had created the two of them as “man“, that is, “mankind“. Equal in being with the man, she had every bit of the “image and likeness” of God. However, she had been created to be a “helper fit for” her husband. She could provide the companionship that no other creature could offer and the ability to help Adam fulfill the command to “be fruitful and multiply“. At the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil she found a serpent who talked to her.

The serpent deceived her and made her doubt God, and tempted her to eat the forbidden fruit. She did so, and having done so, she gave some to Adam which triggered the Fall of the human race into sin. A consequence of this rebellion was her being cursed to have pain in childbirth, and desire to be in control of her husband who would rule over her. She would have 2 sons soon after the expulsion from the garden, Cain and Abel, only to lose Abel some time later to her firstborn’s murderous hand. At the age of 130 years old, she would set the record for birthing a child, never to be excelled in recorded history. Nothing else is known from the Bible about her subsequent life. The story of the creation of Eve from Adam is an explanation for love and marriage. The idea is that, as Adam was split apart into Adam and Eve, the two parts of an original whole long to be reunited.

According to almost all the confessions of Christianity, original sin is the sin that Adam and Eve, the progenitors of humanity according to the biblical tradition, would have committed against God, as described in the book of Genesis. The consequence of this sin would have been the fall of man, original sin is therefore described as what separated man from God and which, according to some interpretations, would have made man mortal. The nature of original sin has been explained in various ways according to the interpretations that have been given to the biblical passage and in general, however, it seems to represent the disobedience towards God on the part of man, who would like to decide for himself what is good and what is bad.

Islamic Gold Moon and Star Statue, Religious, Islamic, & Planets Statues, Gold Moon and Star with Tawhid Statue

Islamic Gold Moon and Star with Tawhid Statue

This Islamic Gold Moon and Star Statue is made of polyester, making this a strong Islamic trinket so being durable and made to last. Excellent and unique designed model produced in Turkey to create an harmonious spiritual environment as a decoration. This work of art is full of verses embroidered and is made with the finest craftsmanship and the finest materials, resulting so in an object of incredible value. The Star and Crescent Moon is an iconographic symbol used in various historical contexts, including as a prominent symbol of the Ottoman Empire, with numerous modern countries still using it as a national symbol. It was developed in the Greek colony of Byzantium 300 BCE, though it became more widely used as the royal emblem of Pontic King Mithradates VI Eupator after he incorporated Byzantium into his kingdom for a short period. During the 5th century, it was present in coins minted by the Persian Sassanian Empire. The symbol was represented in the coins minted across the empire throughout the Middle East for more than 400 years from the 3rd century until the fall of the Sassanians after the Muslim conquest of Persia in the 7th century.

The conquering Muslim rulers kept the symbol in their coinage during the early years of the caliphate, as the coins were exact replicas of the Sassanian coins. The symbol is the conjoined representation of a Crescent Moon and a Star. Both elements have a long prior history in the iconography of the Ancient Near East as representing either the Sun and Moon or the Moon and the Morning Star (or their divine personifications). Coins with crescent moon and star symbols represented separately have a longer history, with possible ties to older Mesopotamian iconography. The star, or Sun, is often shown within the arc of the crescent (also called star in crescent, or star within crescent, for disambiguation of depictions of a star and a crescent moon side by side). In Numismatics in particular, the term crescent and pellet is used in cases where the star is simplified to a single dot. The combination is found comparatively rarely in late medieval and early modern heraldry. It rose to prominence with its adoption as the flag and national symbol of the Ottoman Empire and some of its administrative divisions (eyalets and vilayets) and later in the 19th century Westernizing tanzimat (reforms). The Ottoman flag of 1844, with a white ay-yıldız (Turkish for “crescent-star“) on a red background, continues to be in use as the flag of the Republic of Turkey, with minor modifications.

Other states formerly part of the Ottoman Empire also used the symbol, including Libya (1951-1969 and after 2011), Tunisia (1831) and Algeria (1958). The same symbol was used in other national flags introduced during the 20th century, including the flags of Azerbaijan (1918), Pakistan (1947), Malaysia (1948), Singapore (1959), Mauritania (1959), Uzbekistan (1991), Turkmenistan (1991) and Comoros (2001). In the later 20th century, the star and crescent moon have acquired a popular interpretation as a “Symbol of Islam“, occasionally embraced by Arab nationalism or Islamism in the 1970s to 1980s but often rejected as erroneous or unfounded by Muslim commentators in more recent times. Unlike the Cross, which is a symbol of Jesus’ Crucifixion in Christianity, there is no solid link that connects the star and crescent moon symbol with the concept of Islam. The connotation is widely believed to have come from the flag of Ottoman Empire, which was one of the largest empires of the early modern period. Unicode introduced a “star and crescent moon” character in its Miscellaneous Symbols block, at U+262A (☪).

The term Tawhid instead, also spelled Tauhid, Arabic Tawḥīd, “making one“, “asserting oneness“, in Islam, the Oneness of God, in the sense that He is One and there is no God but He, as stated in the shahādah “witness” formula: “There is no god but God, and Muhammad is His prophet“. Tawhid further refers to the nature of that God, that He is a Unity, not composed, not made up of parts, but simple and uncompounded. The doctrine of the Unity of God and the issues that it raises, such as the question of the relation between the essence and the attributes of God, reappear throughout most of Islamic history. In the terminology of Muslim mystics (Sufis), however, Tawhid has a pantheistic sense, all essences are divine, and there is no absolute existence besides that of God. To most Muslim scholars, the science of Tawhid is the systematic theology through which a better knowledge of God may be reached, but, to the Sufis, knowledge of God can be reached only through religious experience and direct vision. Gold Moon and Star with Tawhid Statue sizes: 6 inches / 15 cm x 9 inches / 23 cm.

Hindu Goddess Lakshmi Statue, Religious, Hinduism & Gods Statues, Golden Lakshmi the Mother Goddess Statue

Golden Lakshmi “the Hindu Mother Goddess” Statue

Hindu Goddess Lakshmi Statue made of polyresin and painted with premium antique colors with red accents, the confluence of colors makes her look classy. I love her vibe. The bottom is covered with felt and will not scratch the table or anything. Perfect gift for a loved one or for home use to honor Lakshmi Goddess, the Goddess of all Beginnings. Lakshmi “she who leads to one’s goal“, also known as Shri “Noble“, is one of the principal goddesses in Hinduism. She is the goddess of wealth, fortune, power, beauty and prosperity, and associated with Maya “Illusion“. Along with Parvati and Saraswati, she forms the Tridevi of Hindu Goddesses. Within the Goddess-oriented Shaktism, Lakshmi is venerated as a principle aspect of the Mother goddess. Lakshmi is both the wife and divine energy (shakti) of the Hindu God Vishnu, the Supreme Being of Vaishnavism.

She is also the Supreme Goddess in the sect and assists Vishnu to create, protect and transform the Universe. Whenever Vishnu descended on the Earth as an avatar, Lakshmi accompanied him as consort, for example as Sita and Radha or Rukmini as consorts of Vishnu’s avatars Rama and Krishna, respectively. The eight prominent manifestations of Lakshmi, the Ashtalakshmi symbolize the eight sources of wealth. Lakshmi is depicted in Indian art as an elegantly dressed, prosperity-showering golden-coloured woman standing or siting in Padmasana on a Lotus Throne, while holding a lotus in her hand, symbolizing fortune, self-knowledge, and spiritual liberation. Her iconography shows her with four hands, which represent the four aspects of human life important to Hindu culture: Dharma (righteousness, moral values), Artha (prosperity, economic values), Kama (pleasure, love, psychological values) and Moksha (liberation, spiritual values).

Archaeological discoveries and ancient coins suggest the recognition and reverence for Lakshmi existing by the 1st millennium BCE. Lakshmi’s iconography and statues have also been found in Hindu temples throughout Southeast Asia, estimated to be from the second half of the 1st millennium CE. The festivals of Diwali and Sharad Purnima (Kojagiri Purnima) are celebrated in her honor. Lakshmi in Sanskrit is derived from the root word laks and laksa, meaning “to perceive, observe, know, understand” and “goal, aim, objective“, respectively. These roots give Lakshmi the symbolism, know and understand your goal. A related term is laksana, which means “sign, target, aim, symbol, attribute, quality, lucky mark, auspicious opportunity“. Golden Lakshmi the Mother Goddess Statue measures: 4.7 inches / 12 cm x 4.7 inches / 12 cm x 6.3 inches / 16 cm.

Serene Meditating Buddha Statue, Religious & Buddhism Statues, Wooden Serene Sitting Buddha Statue

Wooden Serene Meditating Buddha Statue

Serene Meditating Buddha Statue, one of a kind and very detailed artwork. Asian inspired great decor piece, hand carved from suar wood by Indonesian artisan. This Serene Meditating Buddha is a symbol of peace and positivity. Buddhists search to find a true method of gaining pure happiness and freedom from misery. This stunning Buddha statue is hand carved from suar wood. Suar Wood is a non-endangered hardwood with a straight grain which makes it easy to carve and to provide a high gloss finish. This statue features naturally occurring shades of light and dark, and is sure to add warmth and color to any home whether traditional or contemporary. The Buddha is said to have identified two paramount mental qualities (Samatha “serenity” and Vipassana “insight”) that arise from wholesome meditative practice. Serenity or Tranquillity which steadies, composes, unifies and concentrates the mind. Insight which enables one to see, explore and discern your Mind. It is said that tranquility meditation can lead to the attainment of supernatural powers such as psychic powers and mind reading while insight meditation can lead to the realisation of Nibbana.

In the Pali canon, the Buddha never mentions independent samatha and vipassana meditation practices, instead, Samatha and Vipassana are two qualities of mind, to be developed through meditation. In the “Four Ways to Arahantship Sutta” Ananda reports that people attain Arahantship using serenity and insight in one of three ways: develop serenity and then insight / develop insight and then serenity / develop serenity and insight in tandem. Through the meditative development of serenity, one is able to suppress obscuring hindrances, and, with the suppression of the hindrances, it is through the meditative development of insight that one gains liberating wisdom. Moreover, the Buddha is said to have extolled serenity and insight as conduits for attaining Nibbana (Nirvana), the unconditioned state as in the “Kimsuka Tree Sutta“, where the Buddha provides an elaborate metaphor in which serenity and insight are “the swift pair of messengers” who deliver the message of Nibbana via the Noble Eightfold Path. In the Threefold training, samatha is part of samadhi, the eight limb of the threefold path, together with sati, mindfulness. Wooden Serene Sitting Buddha Statue measures: 8 inches / 20 cm x 5 inches / 13 cm x 12 inches / 30.5 cm.

God Lord Hanuman Statue, Gods, Religious & Hinduism Statues, Divine Monkey Lord Hanuman Statue

Divine Monkey God Lord Hanuman Statue

The God Lord Hanuman Statue, portrayed by artisans with a swollen jaw “Hanuman” in Sanskrit means “one with a prominent jaw“, this feature is the result of a blow dealt Him by Indraji as punishment for His childhood menaces. His body, colossal as it is, has the extraordinary capacity to expand to 90 yojanas (gigantic proportions), which it did when He crossed the oceans onto Lanka and when He fought Surasa, the demoness. This is explained by the fact that He is a tantric siddha. His skin possesses the resplendence of all the three realms of existence, likened in various texts to the luster of the sun. Indeed, it takes great workmanship for the humble artisan to do justice to His divine form through earthly media. Hanuman is a Hindu god and divine vanara (monkey) companion of the god Rama. Hanuman is one of the central characters of the Hindu epic Ramayana. He is an ardent devotee of Rama and one of the chiranjivis. Hanuman is also son of the wind-god Vayu, who in several stories played a direct role in Hanuman’s birth.

Hanuman is mentioned in several other texts, such as the epic Mahabharata and the various Puranas. Evidence of devotional worship to Hanuman is largely absent in these texts, as well as in most archeological sites. According to Philip Lutgendorf, an American Indologist, the theological significance of Hanuman and devotional dedication to him emerged about 1,000 years after the composition of the Ramayana, in the 2nd millennium CE, after the arrival of Islamic rule in the Indian subcontinent. Lutgendorf also writes that the skills in Hanuman’s resume also seem to derive in part from his windy patrimony, reflecting Vayu’s role in both body and cosmos. Bhakti movement saints such as Samarth Ramdas have positioned Hanuman as a symbol of nationalism and resistance to persecution. The Vaishnava saint Madhva said that whenever Vishnu incarnates on earth, Vayu accompanies him and aids his work of preserving dharma.

In the modern era, Hanuman’s iconography and temples have been increasingly common. He is viewed as the ideal combination of “strength, heroic initiative and assertive excellence” and “loving, emotional devotion to his personal god Rama“, as Shakti and Bhakti. In later literature, he is sometimes portrayed as the patron god of martial arts such as wrestling and acrobatics, as well as activities such as meditation and diligent scholarship. He symbolizes the human excellences of inner self-control, faith, and service to a cause, hidden behind the first impressions of a being who looks like an Ape-Man Vanara. Hanuman is considered a bachelor and exemplary celibate. Some scholars have identified Hanuman as one potential inspiration for Sun Wukong, the Monkey King character in the Chinese epic adventure Journey to the West. Divine Monkey Lord Hanuman Statue sizes: 23.5 inches / 58 cm x 35 inches / 89 cm x 66 inches / 168 cm.

Verses embroidered over trinkets provide a spiritual atmosphere.

The Throne Verse (Arabic: Ayatul Kursi) is the 255th verse of the 2nd surah of the Quran, Al-Baqarah (Q2:255). The verse speaks about how nothing and nobody is regarded to be comparable to God. This is one of the best-known verses of the Quran and is widely memorised and displayed in the Muslim world. It is often recited as a practice of apotropaic magic to ward off jinn. Ayat al-Kursi is regarded as the greatest verse of Quran according to hadith. The verse is regarded as one of the most powerful in the Quran because when it is recited, the greatness of God is believed to be confirmed. The person who recites this ayah morning and evening will be under protection of God from the evil of the jinn and the shayatin (demons), this is also known as the daily adkhar. It is used in exorcism, to cure and protect from jinn and shayatin. Because the Throne Verse is believed to grant spiritual or physical protection, it is often recited by Muslims before setting out on a journey and before going to sleep. The verse is also used for safety and survival from khabis jinns for all the day. Reciting the verse after every prayer is believed to grant entry to paradise.

The Pomegranate (Punica Granatum) is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub in the family Lythraceae, subfamily Punicoideae, that grows between 5 and 10 m (16 and 33 ft) tall. The Pomegranate was originally described throughout the Mediterranean region. It was introduced into Spanish America in the late 16th century and into California by Spanish settlers in 1769. The fruit is typically in season in the Northern Hemisphere from October to February, and in the Southern Hemisphere from March to May. As intact sarcotestas or juice, pomegranates are used in baking, cooking, juice blends, meal garnishes, smoothies, and alcoholic beverages, such as cocktails and wine. Pomegranates are widely cultivated throughout the Middle East and Caucasus region, north and tropical Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, the drier parts of Southeast Asia, and the Mediterranean Basin.

The name Pomegranate derives from medieval Latin pomum “apple” and granatum “seeded“. Possibly stemming from the old French word for the fruit, pomme-grenade, the pomegranate was known in early English as “apple of Grenada“, a term which today survives only in heraldic blazons. This is a folk etymology, confusing the Latin granatus with the name of the Spanish city of Granada, which derives from Arabic. Garnet derives from Old French grenat by metathesis, from Medieval Latin granatum as used in a different meaning “of a dark red color“. This derivation may have originated from pomum granatum, describing the color of pomegranate pulp, or from granum, referring to “red dye, cochineal“. Gold Pomegranate with Ayatul Kursi (The Throne Verse) Statue measures: 5.12 inches / 13 cm x 3.94 inches / 10 cm.

Buddhist meditation is the practice of meditation in Buddhism. The closest words for meditation in the classical languages of Buddhism are bhavana “mental development” and jhana/dhyana “mental training resulting in a calm and luminous mind”. Buddhists pursue meditation as part of the path toward liberation from defilements (kleshas) and clinging and craving (upadana), also called awakening, which results in the attainment of Nirvana, and includes a variety of meditation techniques, most notably asubha bhavana “reflections on repulsiveness”, reflection on pratityasamutpada (dependent origination), sati (mindfulness) and anussati (recollections), including anapanasati (breath meditation), dhyana (developing an alert and luminous mind) and the Brahma-viharas (loving-kindness and compassion). These techniques aim to develop equanimity and sati (mindfulness), samadhi (concentration), samatha (tranquility) and vipassana (insight), and are also said to lead to abhijña (supramundane powers).

These meditation techniques are preceded by and combined with practices which aid this development, such as moral restraint and right effort to develop wholesome states of mind. While these techniques are used across Buddhist schools, there is also significant diversity. In the Theravada tradition, reflecting developments in early Buddhism, meditation techniques are classified as either samatha (calming the mind) and vipassana (gaining insight). Chinese and Japanese Buddhism preserved a wide range of meditation techniques, which go back to early Buddhism, most notably Sarvastivada. In Tibetan Buddhism, deity yoga includes visualisations, which precede the realization of sunyata “emptiness“.

Hindu God Krishna and The Holy Cow Statue

Krishna and The Holy Cow Statue, an expertly cast in a bronzed resin with felt bottom, superb detailing and hand painted accents really bring this statue to life. Cows and Krishna have always been together. In His original form in the spiritual world, Krishna is a cowherd boy in the agricultural community of Goloka “cow planet” Vrindavan, where He keeps unlimited, transcendental surabhi cows. When He descends to earth, Krishna brings a replica of Vrindavan with Him, and He spends His childhood tending cows and calves while playing in the pasturing grounds with His friends. His example shows the importance of cows to human society, the practical benefits of caring for them, and the advantages of an agrarian economy based on cooperation between man and cows.

Krishna established the original economic system, varnashrama-dharma, for the spiritual and material progress of all living beings. Protected cows are a major component of this system; bulls and oxen till the fields, and cows give milk. Cows are are considered one of the mothers of humankind because cow’s milk, when properly prepared, is perfectly suited to maintaining human life. Milk can be made into a wide variety of preparations, such as yogurt and butter, which are also essential ingredients for use in the ceremonial worship of Krishna in His transcendental Deity form. In His famous book of instructions for humankind, the Bhagavad-gita, Krishna mentions cow protection as one of the prime duties of any civilized society. The Bible also tells us that cow-killing is as punishable as killing a human being. Hindu God Krishna and The Holy Cow Statue measures: 10 inches / 25 cm x 6 inches / 15 cm x 4 inches / 10 cm.

Michael is the Archangel of the first ray of protection, faith and the will of God. He is the Prince of the Archangels and of the Angelic Hosts, the Defender of the Faith, the Angel of Deliverance and his divine complement is Archeia Faith. The Book of Daniel calls him “the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people”. Saint Michael Fighting the Dragon is a part of the Apocalypse series, illustrating the Book of Apocalypse or Revelation of St. John. “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the Dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven”. As recounted by the Revelation of Saint John, at the end of the world, war will break out between Heaven and Hell, between Good and Evil.

As the commander of the Army of God, Archangel Michael leads the other angels in the fight against evil, represented in this statue by a dragon head. In Dürer’s original painting the Dragon has 7 heads. Each of the dragon’s heads represents one of the Seven Deadly Sins, (pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth). Dürer chose to capture this fight between good and evil at the moment when Saint Michael is thrusting his spear into one of the heads. Surrounding Saint Michael are three other angels ready to attack. Beneath the fighting lies a calm and serene landscape with mountains and a small town, highlighted by a church with a tall spire, in the distance. At the bottom in the center of the page Dürer has placed his distinctive “AD” monogram that is in all of his engravings. Albrecht Dürer considered printmaking to be one of the most important art forms, possibly even equal to the art of painting. His technical skill is well demonstrated in Saint Michael Fighting the Dragon. Saint Michael Warrior Archangel Slaying The Evil Dragon Statue measures: 6 inches / 15 cm x 4 inches / 10 cm x 10.5 inches / 26.5 cm.
