Polish Madonna Bookends
These alabaster bookends feature a classic image of The Polish Madonna. Able to keep heavy books in line, they both organize and decorate your home. This pair of bookends makes the perfect personal gift for all mothers with children and anyone with a devotion to Our Lady.
The text conveys the Polish legend behind the image.
The bookends are made from stone-cast alabaster here in our shop in Steubenville, Ohio. Alabaster is a building and decorating material created from the mineral gypsum that has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. It boasts an attractive smooth finish.
Each measures roughly 6" x 8", including the 4"x 6" inset image plaque, and is 3" deep.
Text reads:
"Polish legend has it that the bright warmth of the sun must shine upon the earth on Saturday, if only for a brief moment, in remembrance of Christ's infancy when on that day Mary would wash immaculately clean his swaddling clothes so that Sunday might find delight in witnessing the baby God in pure and fresh-scented dress."
