Decoration of the base for figures | The acanthus leaves

The bases for religious figures are shelves or stands that are usually placed in churches to locate religious images. 

In addition to this purely functional part, the bases also have a decorative component, that is, they are elements that collaborate in transmitting the values of the Catholic Church. 

In this case, this base is decorated with acanthus leaves. A stylistic resource widely used in bases and columns for its symbolism. 

The acanthus plant is known for its resilience and ability to survive under extreme conditions. This determination to survive was adopted as a symbol by early Christians, especially in the early years of our era, when Christ's followers were persecuted by the Roman authorities.

Another characteristic of the acanthus plant is how easily it sprouts again after being cut. The concept of rebirth was symbolically linked to the resurrection of Jesus. The acanthus represents eternal life and the hope of resurrection, a central concept of Christianity.
