Among the literary titans of the Catholic Church, Cardinal John Henry Newman holds an impressive place. Anglican priest, poet, and professor of theology, Newman underwent a bitter intellectual struggle which resulted in his conversion to Roman Catholicism. His autobiography, “Apologia Pro Vita Sua”, is considered a masterpiece of Catholic theological writing. Cardinal Newman is the founder and patron of “Newman Centers”: university organizations devoted to keeping the faith alive on campus. Cardinal John Henry Newman was canonized a Saint of the Catholic Church on October 13, 2019.
The shrine itself is produced with stonecast alabaster which originates from the mineral gypsum, a highly regarded building and decorating medium that has been used since the time of ancient Egypt and boasts an attractive smooth finish.
It measures roughly 5 1/2in x 8in, including the 4in x 6in inset image plaque. The back of the shrine features a secured easel for standing and a simple metal hook for hanging.
