St. Jude Thaddeus & Intrepid Female Golfer Magnet

Are you a religious person who golfs or do you golf religiously (pun intended)? This new magnet from Saints_Aplenty on Zazzle features St. Jude Thaddeus, best known as the "patron saint of hopeless causes" who can surely be invoked for help with challenging golf shots! The holy sportsman is outfitted with golf clubs and a golf bag. The image was made by remixing a traditional Catholic devotional image from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera with elements from various public domain resources. The golf club he holds in his right hand replaces a cudgel significantly thicker at one end than the other in the original artwork. Ironically perhaps, according to some accounts, St. Jude was martyred by being beaten to death with a club before being beheaded postmortem. + Here, St. Jude appears in a scene touched by genial Christian humour with a semi-realistic character inspired by vintage PD clipart. The Saint with cross held high succors an intrepid young female golfer dressed in winter clothing making a difficult shot over a water hazard. Bundled up against the cold, she wears a burgundy knit hat and long scarf over a tan coat and purple skirt and leggings. This item can be mixed or matched with others from the Golfing Saints and Golfers COLLECTION to create a unique ensemble. + Saints_Aplenty can’t guarantee, of course, that using our products will take strokes off your handicap. But, then again, it couldn’t hurt to have heaven on your side!
