Mexican Saint Jude Nicho
Saint Jude, known in Mexico as "San Judas Tadeo" or simply as "San Judas" is set in a nice nicho, and it is constructed in the traditional "concha" style. It looks much like a traditional antique 19th Century nicho. This piece is hand carved and hand painted.
Saint Jude is one of most popular saints ever - he patron saint of difficult and hopeless causes. He is also refered to as "El del dinero" - "He of the Money" - refering to the practice that some people have of praying to him for money.
This is a hand painted, original piece of folk art.
These pieces are made with recycled wood - Mexican fruit crates - or “rejas” as they are called.
From Fausto's Art Gallery in Ojinaga, Chihuahua.
