St. Maximilian Kolbe

"That night I asked the Mother of God what was to become of me. Then she came to me holding two crowns, one white, the other red. She asked me if I was willing to accept either of these crowns. The white one meant that I should persevere in purity, and the red that I should become a martyr. I said that I would accept them both."  - St. Maximilian Kolbe Beautiful plaster statue of St. Maximilian Kolbe handcrafted by artists in Columbia using goldleaf and utilizing Italian techniques to finish the piece.
