H. Therese of Lisieux 

• H. Theresia van Lisieux 
• Holy statue 
• Germany 

A well-known saying of her is: "I want to rain roses (= blessings) on the earth". That is why she is depicted as a Carmelite woman with roses in her hand. This is a statue of Saint Therese (of Lisieux), a French nun who died of tuberculosis at the age of 24. During her time in the monastery, Theresia wrote an autobiography that is still very popular, because Theresia was able to bring faith very close, without too much fuss around it.
