Fiberglass statue, internally empty and very light. It is suitable to be carried during the processions. The manufacturing is entirely manual. When the two parts are linked, there is the finishing of the statue and it is perfectly smoothed, then the statue goes through the coloring section. The skilled decorators hand paint using particolar varnishes, conforming to the traditional iconography. The fiberglass is a plastic material, very resistant and humidity absorber which is used in many sectors: industry, furnitures, building of boats, airplanes, vehicles, garden swimmingpool etc.

Storia

Saint Helena, empress, lived between 250 and 330. She was born in Bitinia (Asia) and she married Costanzo Cloro. They had a child, who became Constantine the Great.

In 313 she became Christian and she spent her life between Eastern and Rome, where she contributed to build many roman churches and many churches in Holy Land.

Her name is principally associated to the finding of the Real Cross , in a shaft near Mount Calvario.

Her sarcophagus still exists in the Vatican Museum. She is illustrated with imperil clothes and with a cross.
