The worship of saints has always been very common in
South Tyrol.
Figures of saints and
patron saints served as a sign of practising
Christianity. Over the centuries, ecclesiastical art has been devoted to
the creation of statues of
Christian saints, because they represent a
consolation for many people who are sick or in need. The
figures of these saints were, therefore,
always much in demand.
Statues of
saints are also sold by
Comploj Albert in various sizes with different
finishes.
The carved figures are painted with oil paints or decorated with a
special stain.
The beautiful
woodcarvings
that are produced in
Val Gardena can even be seen and admired in many churches in Bavaria and
Austria.
