Q. 1. What is the purpose of religious statues?
A. 1. Religious statues and figurines, like holy pictures, are wonderful visual reminders of faith and beauty. Whether it is Saint Francis nestled in the garden or an angel to watch over you, these holy reminders of our Catholic faith add inspiration to any indoor/outdoor decor.
Catholics do not worship statues. They appeal for the intercession of the person/angel who's figure is represented in the religious statues or figurines.
