These alabaster bookends feature the two recently canonized Popes. Able to keep heavy books in line, they both organize and decorate your home. This pair of bookends makes the perfect personal gift for everyone with a devotion to these selfess and loving leaders of Christ's Church.

Pope Saint John Paul II was known for his dynamic calling of all people, especially the youth, deeper into their faith. He emphisized the value and beauty of every person, which led him to both preach a new positive explanation of chastity and to oppose communism around the world. The original photo was taken by Grzegorz Galazka.

Pope Saint John XXIII came from a humble farming background. He is known for his work for peace and for calling the Second Vatican Council. 

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 and will last for years to come. 

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