SHOPPING GUIDE

PRODUCTS SELECTION

How can I find a certain item?
Our products are classified into different categories (Our Lady of Fátima, Apparition, 3 Little Shepperds, Accessories and Centenary). Go to the category that interests you using the menu and you will see the products included in it.
To find items you can also use the search bar located at the top right area (near the shopping cart) of all site pages.

There are many items in the same category. How can I apply a filter?
To reduce the number of items displayed within each category, use the filters located on the left side of the page, selecting the item’s characteristic(s) more important. You can also filter the item’s display based on the desired price range.

How are the items measured?
- Statues are measured from the bottom of the base (including) to the top of the head (without crown).
- Crowns are measured by the diameter of the base that rests on the statue's head.
Please note that the designation "Crown for Our Lady of Fatima 40cm to 53cm" (example) refers to the size of the statues for which this crown is recommended.

Is the crown or halo shown in some photos included in the price and does it accompany the statue?
- On plastic fiber statues, the plastic crown or halo is included in the price and comes with the statue (unless otherwise stated on the item page).
  Note: some statues may show a filigree crown in the photos. As indicated on the pages of these items, these crowns are not included in the price and do not accompany the statue.
- Wooden statues do not include a crown or halo. If you want your statue to have a crown or halo, you should add it to your cart so that it is part of your order.
