Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is Saint Gregory the Great depicted with a dove? Legend has it that a dove (the Holy Spirit) whispered words directly into Gregory's ear while he was writing his texts. This emphasizes his importance as a Doctor of the Church.
How do I maintain the wooden statue? Wood is a natural material. Simply dust the statue with a soft cloth or a dry brush. Avoid excessive humidity and direct exposure to sunlight to preserve the finish.
Is it possible to engrave the statue? Yes, we can provide a custom engraving on the base (e.g., name, date, or a short blessing) to turn the statue into a personal and lasting keepsake.
