19" Blessings Nun Doll Sisters of St. Joseph Expressions of Faith In Original Box
Original Paperwork.
The Blessings Expressions of Faith Doll Collection is a collection of nun dolls that were meticulously crafted in their solemn traditional habits. They were created to carry on, promote and honor the memories of our beloved Catholic nuns. Sadly, these dolls are NO longer in production.
This nun doll represents a Catholic religious belonging to the Sisters of St. Joseph also known as the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph, abbreviated CSJ or SSJ. This congregation of religious sisters was founded in Le Puy-en-Velay, France, in 1650. Disbanded during the French Revolution, it was later reorganized by Mother St. John Fontbonne. This congregation, named for Saint Joseph, has approximately 14,000 members worldwide: about 7,000 in the United States; 2,000 in France; and are active in 50 other countries.
This Sister of St. Joseph doll is exquisitely detailed, historically accurate and authentically reproduced. From the elegant simplicity of her habit and her beautiful accessories, right down to the tips of her long and graceful fingers, this nun doll was painstakingly and perfectly crafted. The wedding ring on her right hand is a tender symbol of her marriage to Christ. Her long black diaphanous veil and black pleated habit; the white guimpe which covers her neck and shoulders, the silver profession crucifix, and the garment unseen under her habit were meticulously restored all the way down to the folds created in the daily care of the garment. The rosary wrapped around her waist is a replica of the order's habit rosary. She has expressive purple eyes, and her delightful face is exceptionally dignified and beautiful.
. The doll comes with her own personalized Certificate of authenticity and (#1138).
