Gnostic Christian Holy Wisdom Sofia Sophia Statue #SS-SOF Greek Sophia Goddess Statue 7 inches (18 cm) high - Ivory with blush undertones.Gypsumstone. [Plaque icon, Constantinople, c. 537 CE] SOPHIA BRINGS HOLY WISDOM Greek Goddess Sophia unblocks and inspires creativity, and brings wisdom to the seeker. Early Greek Christians portrayed the feminine face of God as Hagia Sophia, or "Holy Female Wisdom." It was believed that Sophia's spirit entered Mary to conceive Jesus and, as a dove, entered Jesus at his baptism. She gave voice to the apostles at Pentecost. This ivory colored statue with blush undertones is one of our most magnificent and regal likenesses. Biblical references to Sophia: In Proverbs chapter 1, starting at verse 20, divine Sophia (Wisdom) is portrayed as a woman crying in the streets. This feminine divine image continues throughout Proverbs, especially in chapter 8. The original Hebrew Hokmah was also a female metaphor. Paul uses the female image of divine Sophia (Wisdom) to describe Christ in 1 Corinthians 1:24. On Saturday of every third week of the Liturgy of the Hours, priests around the world pray during Lauds from the Book of Wisdom: Now with you is Wisdom, who knows your works and was present when you made the world; Who understands what is pleasing in your eyes and what is conformable with your commands.
