Karol Wotjtyla faced the challenges of his pontificate with faith, energy and joy! The list of his accomplishments in the service of God is long and impressive, and these bookends pay tribute to this Pope who loved all people, especially the young, as Christ did.
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.
