Discover the powerful presence of St. Expedito with our remarkable figurine, a revered symbol of faith and protection in both Catholicism and Afro Caribbean spirituality.
As a Catholic saint, St. Expedito is honored for his courage, steadfastness, and unwavering faith in the face of adversity. He symbolizes swift assistance in times of need and is revered as a patron saint of urgent causes and desperate situations within the Catholic Church.
In Afro Caribbean spirituality, St. Expedito takes on additional significance, known as Baron La Croix in Vodou, where he embodies the Loa spirit of death and sexuality. In New Orleans Voodoo, he is associated with Baron Samedi, further emphasizing his connection to death and the afterlife. Additionally, he is known as Gede Nibo or Guede Limbo in Dominican Vodou and Puerto Rican Sanse, representing the interplay between life and death, and the celebration of life's pleasures.
Our exquisite figurine captures the essence of St. Expedito's dual nature, portraying him in his traditional Catholic attire while also honoring his Afro Caribbean manifestations. Standing resolute, he is adorned in metal chest armor with a golden belt, a crimson cape flowing behind him, and a green kilt with brown ribbons symbolizing his earthly connection.
In one hand, he holds a palm leaf, signifying victory over temptation and adversity, while in the other hand, he raises a golden crucifix inscribed with the Latin word "Hodie" (Today), emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment. His shiny gold helmet rests beside him, a symbol of his readiness to protect and defend those who call upon him.

Whether displayed in your home or placed on your altar, it serves as a potent reminder of St. Expedito's presence and his willingness to intercede on behalf of those in need.
