Our Lady of Medjugorje statue, 130 cm, in painted fiberglass

The 130 cm painted fiberglass statue of Our Lady of Medjugorje finely reproduces the sculptural iconography of the Virgin who appeared on Podbrdo. Made in Italy and enhanced with glass eyes, it combines the lightness required for processional transport with a solid structure, making it ideal for liturgical halls, chapels, or suitably protected outdoor niches.

Iconography of the Queen of Peace and Marian spirituality

This 130 cm monumental sculpture depicts the Virgin Mary in profound connection with the spiritual events that began on June 25, 1981, on Podbrdo Hill in Medjugorje, where six young visionaries first received Her messages of love and peace for all humanity.

The Virgin is depicted with delicate drapery, standing on a pristine cloud-shaped base that enhances her heavenly dimension.

The welcoming gesture and expressiveness of the glass eyes

The work stands out for the profound devotional intensity conveyed through its gestures and gaze:

• Hand position: Mary rests one hand on her chest as a sign of intimate contemplation, while extending the other arm to call the faithful to her and welcome them in a motherly embrace.

• Living gaze: The expertly set glass eyes give the Madonna's face extraordinarily vivid expressiveness, making her gaze compassionate and conducive to prayer.

Italian craftsmanship: properties and care of fiberglass

The statue is made entirely in Italy by a company of artisans experienced in crafting resin and fiberglass sculptures, materials chosen for their excellent technical and structural properties.

Structural lightness and processional use

One of the main advantages of fiberglass is its combination of rigidity and low weight. This lightness makes the statue particularly suitable and safe for handling and transport during processions, preventing excessive fatigue for those carrying it compared with traditional plaster or solid wood statues.

Ideal placement and preservation of the polychrome finish

Although the fiberglass structure is resistant to humidity and frost, this specific hand-painted version requires care when displayed outdoors. To preserve the brightness and integrity of the painted colors over time, it is recommended to place the statue away from direct sunlight and the elements. Ideal locations include:

• Churches, liturgical halls, chapels, and parish halls.

• Grottoes, glass-enclosed niches, balconies, and covered arcades.

The sculpture rests on a solid base measuring 8 cm in height, 40 cm in width, and 40 cm in depth, ensuring excellent stability.

Packaging and care during shipping

Given the care devoted to every smallest handcrafted detail, the statue is prepared for shipping with the utmost attention. It is packaged in a double-wall, impact-resistant cardboard box, wrapped in soft scratch-resistant plastic, and protected by internal polystyrene and expanded foam packaging.
