    i got this San Martin de Porres terracotta statue on ebay a couple weeks ago. it's a great vintage or antique piece. San Martin de Porres is my favorite saint too, and it's very hard to find older ones anywhere. Sn Martin de Porres has become a real hero amongst those who work w/ the homeless in San Francisco - and amongst the homeless too.

      I love this St. Martin statue! Could this be a souvenir from Fatima? Just a thought.

      thank you shareurpassion! i regret not having bought a really beautiful one i saw in in an antique shop in guatemala back in 1985. i was with my parents and they wanted to get it for me, but i said it was too expensive. they and i wish that we had gone for it!
