EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative medieval image, the wooden figure of Saint Birgitta of Sweden (1303-1373) stands with a solemn expression, her hands held in a prayerful gesture. The figure, originating from an unknown workshop, is a testament to the devotion and piety that characterized the 14th century in Europe. Birgitta, also known as Birgitta Birgersdotter, was a Swedish saint and the founder of the Bridgettine Order, a Catholic religious order for women. She is renowned for her visions, which she began experiencing at a young age and continued throughout her life. These visions, which were later recorded in the "Revelations of Saint Birgitta," provided guidance and inspiration for her spiritual life and her role as a leader and reformer within the Catholic Church. The figure wears the traditional habit of the Bridgettine Order, which includes a white robe and a blue mantle, symbolizing purity and penance. The broken book at her feet is a reminder of the importance of humility and the rejection of worldly possessions in her religious order. The figure's intricate details, from the delicate folds of her habit to the expressive carving of her face, demonstrate the skill and artistry of the medieval craftsman. This figure, now housed in the Medieval Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a valuable and moving representation of the life and legacy of Saint Birgitta of Sweden, a remarkable woman whose influence continues to be felt within the Catholic Church and beyond. The figure's placement in a dimly lit interior, with the warm glow of a candle casting shadows on the figure and the rough texture of the wood, adds to the sense of reverence and spirituality that surrounds this important relic from the medieval period.
