The Inspiring Story of Saint Matthew

Before becoming one of Jesus' twelve apostles, Saint Matthew was a tax collector in Capernaum, a town beside the Sea of Galilee.

Tax collectors were often unpopular in Jesus' time, but Jesus saw something special in Matthew.

One day, while Matthew was sitting at his tax collection booth, Jesus approached him with a simple invitation: "Follow me."

Matthew stood up, left his work behind and followed Jesus, beginning an extraordinary new chapter in his life.

He became one of the twelve apostles and is traditionally recognised as the author of the Gospel of Matthew, the first Gospel in the New Testament.

Through his Gospel, we learn about the birth, life, teachings, miracles, death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Saint Matthew's story is a beautiful reminder that God sees the goodness and potential in every person, and that we can always choose to follow Him.

Why Is Saint Matthew Pictured with a Winged Figure?

Saint Matthew is traditionally represented by a winged man or angel, one of the four symbols associated with the Gospel writers.

This symbol reflects the beginning of Matthew's Gospel, which introduces the human ancestry and birth of Jesus Christ.

The sweet little winged figure beside Saint Matthew in this collectible statue is a lovely way to introduce children to the special symbols of the four Evangelists.

A Meaningful Confirmation or Catholic Gift

This charming Little Drops of Water Saint Matthew figurine makes a thoughtful gift for children celebrating their Confirmation or First Holy Communion, particularly those who have chosen Saint Matthew as their Confirmation saint.

As the patron saint of accountants, bankers and tax collectors, Saint Matthew is also a meaningful gift for adults working in these professions.

Perfect for displaying on a bedside table, bookshelf, desk or family prayer table, this little saint is a gentle reminder to listen for God's call and follow Him with an open heart.

The delightful Little Drops of Water Catholic Saints Collection helps children, grandchildren and godchildren learn about Jesus, Mary and the saints through beautifully designed, colourful collectible figurines.
