Jesus Revived - The Risen Jesus

This sculpture is one of three I purchased from Juan & Carolina. The open-armed Jesus is simply but beautifully carved. The purple flowers echo those on the St. Joseph sculpture, uniting all three in a celebratory Easter celebration. I also purchased the carved St. Joseph and the carved Corona Mary pieces. These pieces will be forever cherished.

St. John the Evangelist statuette

I was so excited to receive my Novica order. The packaging was excellent but the best part was the product. The statuette now sits at a prominent place in my living room. It gives me a warm and calm feeling every time I see it. The craftsmanship was excellent and I will continue to order from Novica.
