He lived as a hermit for three years but because of his holiness, he was asked to be the abbot of a community of monks. Benedict accepted but soon noticed that the monks were immoral and wanted to poison him, so he decided to return to his hermitage. At the age of 50, he founded a monastery at Monte Cassino and wrote the \"Rule of St. Benedict\" which is still nowadays followed by benedictine monks. Benedict of Nursia is considered the founder of monasticism in Europe. Benedict died in 547 at the age of 67 in Monte Cassino.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePatronage: St. Benedict is patron saint of the Western world and of Europe, the school children and teachers, miners, cavers, coppersmiths, the dying; against plague, fever, inflammation, kidney and gall stones, poisoning and sorcery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStatue and wooden sculpture representing St. Benedict of Nursia - representation, imagery and emblem: St. Benedict of Nursia is represented a Benedictine abbot with abbot's crook, a book and a little snake at his feet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\" style=\"margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-12\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipping and Handling:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShipping time frame- 2-3 weeks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eInternational Orders Shipping Fees calculated based on weight \u0026amp; size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eBecause the statues we list are hand made and painted in Italy by Italian artists, we custom import your statue from Italy for you.  We generally have weekly bulk shipments of statue orders being sent from Italy.  Once you order a statue you can generally expect it to arrive in about 3 weeks, allowing for international and domestic shipping times.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIf you need a statue sooner, you can take a look at what is currently available in our \"Ready To Ship\" collection of statues available here in the states, which we can ship out in 1-2 days. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFor statues 12\" or larger, nativity sets over $350, or crosses and crucifixes 18\" or larger, drop shipping from Italy is available to get your item quicker, but starts at $35 and goes up from there.  Drop shipping from Italy can get your item to you usually in about 7-10 days.  If you are interested in this option, please email us.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ePlease do not hesitate to contact us at \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/info@italianwoodcarvings.com\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003einfo@italianwoodcarvings.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for more information.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eupdated 6.27.2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PEMA","offers":[{"title":"8 inches \/ Color Painted","offer_id":45921237368968,"sku":"204000","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 inches \/ Color Painted","offer_id":45921237401736,"sku":"204000","price":346.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 inches \/ Color Painted","offer_id":45921237467272,"sku":"204000","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"35 inches \/ Color Painted","offer_id":45921237532808,"sku":"204000","price":6146.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"47 inches \/ Color Painted","offer_id":45921238483080,"sku":"204000","price":9660.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"59 inches \/ Color Painted","offer_id":45921238515848,"sku":"204000","price":13860.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"71 inches \/ Color Painted","offer_id":45921238548616,"sku":"204000","price":17360.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0370\/0663\/9240\/files\/204000_80.jpg?v=1780359041","url":"https:\/\/italianwoodcarvings.com\/products\/saint-benedict-of-nursia-with-snake-figurine-copy","provider":"Italian Wood Carvings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
