These alabaster bookends feature an image of St. John Vianney. Able to keep heavy books in line, they both organize and decorate your home. This pair of bookends makes the perfect personal gift for your parish priest, as well as anyone with a devotion to this great saint.

The original artwork is the oil painting St. John Vianney by contemporary artist Jason Jenicke. 

The bookends are made from stone-cast alabaster here in our shop in Steubenville, Ohio. Alabaster is a building and decorating material created from the mineral gypsum that has been used since the time of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs. It boasts an attractive smooth finish. 

Each measures roughly 6" x 8", including the 4"x 6" inset image plaque, and is 3" deep.

Text reads:

"Lord Jesus, we your people pray to You for our priests. You have given them to us for our needs. We pray for them in their needs...

Let them see Yu face to face in the breaking of the Eucharistic Bread

St. John Vianney, patron saint of priests, pray for us."
