Bronze Statues
Since prehistoric times, the mysterious alloy of copper and pewter has enjoyed a good reputation because it lasts just like precious metal, and it does not rust. Prior to the epoch-making Bronze Age, copper was the most famous metal.
By melting together copper and tin it was refined to bronze, which has claimed its position beside gold and silver ever since.
At that time, art was meant for eternity. More importantly, it was meant to last. Bronze met this desire, and therefore the art of bronze accompanied the history of mankind from the art of the ancient world to today.
Remarkable events in artistic reproduction, triumphant successes and tragedies, struggle and surrender, the world of the Gods and the earthly human life, the beauty of women and the strength of men, all were entrusted to the fine art of bronze, many of which can still be admired today.
Angels are messengers and servants of God. In these characteristics we are meeting them everywhere, but mainly at places where they are used as mediator between men and God. They are close to God.

"Blessed are you, Mary, full of Grace!"
In Christian art, the Virgin Mary has always been a central figure. Mary with child has been the main topic from the earliest times until today.
The proclamation of the Birth of Jesus, or the flight to Egypt, have continuously been portrayed.
Worship and Love, which Christians offer to the Virgin Mary, are based on their religious devotion which is expressed in the proclamation:
"I am the Lord's servant,
I am willing to do whatever he wants. May everything you said come true."
Luke 1:38.
Virgin Mary
Nothing gives me more strength and more hope than to be alone with Christ for a little while.
Beneath His blessing hands I can almost hear the words from His mouth
"Follow me".
From the diary of a modern Christian.
To have the figure of Christ in front of you creates a stronghold for these thoughts. His image comforts and gives hope. Family members cannot leave a clearer sign to show the belief of the deceased than with the figure of Christ at the grave. It is, of
course, up to the individual to give this a traditional or more modern insignia; important is the intent and the belief in immortality
Our Lord Jesus Christ
