Finish Options

Natural Wood
The statue is left in a natural wood finish, highlighting the grain of the wood and the craftsmanship of the carving. This finish has a clean, understated appearance that works especially well in traditional or contemporary church interiors.

3x Stained
The 3x Stained finish uses multiple shades of stain to highlight the details of the carving while retaining the natural appearance and texture of the wood. This finish gives the statue additional depth and contrast without using full painted color.

Full Color
The Full Color version is carefully hand-painted by skilled Italian artists using traditional artistic finishes, bringing out the details of St. Jude's garments, facial features, medallion, and other elements of the carving. 

Traditional Symbols of St. Jude

This statue incorporates several of the traditional symbols associated with St. Jude Thaddeus.

The image of Christ worn near his chest recalls the ancient tradition connecting St. Jude with the image of Jesus, while the flame above his head represents his presence with the Apostles at Pentecost and the descent of the Holy Spirit. 

These details make the statue immediately recognizable and especially appropriate for churches and devotional spaces dedicated to St. Jude.

Hand-Carved in Val Gardena, Italy

PEMA Woodcarvings produces its religious statuary in Val Gardena, Italy, an Alpine region renowned for its long tradition of woodcarving.

Each statue is carved and finished by skilled craftsmen, giving every piece subtle variations and the character of a genuine handcrafted work rather than a mass-produced molded statue. 

Ideal for Churches & Devotional Spaces

The PEMA St. Jude Statue is well suited for:

• Catholic churches
• St. Jude shrines
• Side altars
• Chapels
• Hospitals and healthcare chapels
• Catholic schools
• Religious communities
• Memorial installations
• Parish devotional areas
• Private homes and prayer rooms

The larger sizes are particularly appropriate for church and institutional installations, while the smaller sizes work beautifully for home devotion and gifts.
