Religious Ceramic Sculpture Handcrafted in Brazil, "Saint Lucy"

In the days of the ancient Roman Empire, when Christians were not allowed to practice their faith, a courageous woman remained proud and faithful to the words of her God. Saint Lucy, now venerated in many places around the world, is the main inspiration for Brazilian artisans Alice and Ana Ribeiro, who craft a ceramic sculpture of the saint holding a palm leaf and a pair of eyes, symbolizing the miraculous prophecy Lucy made as her end approached.
