Everything About Don Bosco's Name Day
Name Day: January 31st
Saint John Bosco passed away on January 31, 1888. In the Catholic tradition, a saint's feast day is celebrated on the date of their "birth into heaven" (the day of their passing). Therefore, January 31st is the official name day for all those named after him.
Patronage: Don Bosco is the patron saint of youth, educators, schoolchildren, apprentices, and even magicians (due to the magic tricks he used to perform as a young man to catch the attention of children and draw them closer to prayer).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What type of wood is used for the Don Bosco statue?
Our statues are carved from carefully selected, durable mountain maple or linden wood, depending on the specific model. These woods are ideal for intricate detailing and offer excellent resistance to cracking over time.
Is each statue unique?
Yes. Because wood is a natural material, no two statues are identical. The unique wood grain and the artisanal craftsmanship (especially in the hand-painted versions) make every piece an exclusive work of art.
When is Don Bosco's name day celebrated?
The name day is celebrated every year on January 31st, which marks the liturgical feast of Saint John Bosco.
How should I care for the wooden statue?
To preserve the beauty of the wood for decades, the statue should be placed in a dry area and kept away from strong, direct sunlight. For cleaning, a dry or slightly damp cloth is perfectly sufficient. Avoid using any harsh chemical detergents.
