In the 3rd century, St. Cecilia was found burying the bodies of martyrs and for this was put to death. However, she is known as the patron saint of musicians and composers. It seems that at her wedding, St. Cecilia did not hear the pagan secular music but heard angels singing which gave her courage to remain true to her faith. The St. Cecilia statue is made of resin, stands 3-1/2 inches high and shows her sitting at a piano. If someone you know has chosen St. Cecilia for their Confirmation name, this St. Cecilia statue will make a nice gift. The St. Cecilia statue might also be a source of inspiration to young musicians as music meant so much to her. The St. Cecilia statue comes boxed in a gift box with a see through front and includes a prayer card asking for the intercession of St. Cecilia to help with whatever intention is being prayed for. The back of the box has a biography with more information about St. Cecilia. The feast day of St. Cecilia is November 22.
