Retablo dimensions are approx. 12 inches vertical x 8.5 inches horizontal.
Expeditus was probably born in Armenia. He was a Christian Martyr, but not much else is known about him. Information concerning Expeditus is found in the Hieronymian Martyrology, where he appears as one of six Roman soldiers said to have been executed at Melitene during the Diocletian Persecution. If he stationed at Melitene at the beginning of the Fourth Century, he would likely have been a member of the Legio XII Fulminata.
The earliest indication of Devotion to St Expeditus comes only from the second half of the Eighteenth Century. He was mentioned briefly in 1675 in the Acta Sanctorum Volume for April. However, according to Delehaye, the word "Expeditus" is a misreading of "Elpidius". The name "Expeditus" has provoked puns, so he has become the Saint of Rapidity. At first, he was invoked for Urgent Causes; he has since become the Patron Saint of Dealers, Sailors, Students, and Examinees; he is also implored for Success in Lawsuits.
Given that "Expeditus" is Latin for a soldier without marching pack, i.e. a soldier with light equipment, this Saint may be an anonymous individual known by his profession. His Cult was already developed in Turin, Italy, in the Middle Ages.
Roman Catholic Veneration
Legends
According to tradition, Expeditus was a Roman Centurion in Armenia who became a Christian and was beheaded during the Diocletian Persecution in AD 303. The day he decided to become a Christian, the Devil took the form of a Crow (a Snake in some versions of the Legend) and told him to defer his conversion until the next day. Expeditus stamped on the bird and killed it, declaring, "I'll be a Christian today!"
Expeditus was included in Martyrologies in Italy before 1781. There was a tradition that Expeditus could be called upon to help settle overly long legal cases. His feast of April 19 is widely celebrated. Expedite is venerated in Europe and strongly in Latin America. Brazil has ceremonies in São Paulo and crowds attending Ceremonies to mark his April 19 feast day can reach in the hundreds of thousands.
Many stories circulated about the origin of the cultus of Expeditus. One states that it began when a package marked expedite (meaning 'be ready' or alternately 'loosen') arrived with unidentified relics or statues. The recipients assumed that the statuary or relics belonged to an Expeditus, and so veneration began. Such an account is set in France in 1781. A case containing the relics of a Saint, who was formerly buried in the Denfert-Rochereau catacombs of Paris, was delivered at a convent in the city. The senders had written expédit on the case, to ensure fast delivery of the remains. The nuns assumed that "Expédit" was the name of a Martyr, and prayed for his Intercession. When their prayers were answered, veneration spread rapidly through France and on to other Roman Catholic countries.
Another version of the story takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana, which was strongly influenced by French Catholic culture through the colonial period. This account says that Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel (New Orleans) received a large shipment of statues of various Saints, and that one case lacked an identifying label. It was labeled "Expedite" (Expédit in French), so the residents assumed that must be the Saint's name. Expédit still figures prominently in Louisiana Creole folklore and is revered through amulets, flowers, candles, and intercessory prayers.
Iconographical depiction
Expeditus' typical depiction in artwork is as a young Roman centurion. The soldier is squashing a crow beneath his right foot and bearing a clock in early images. Later depictions have Expeditus holding a cross, inscribed with the Latin word hodie ("today"). A banderole with the word cras ("tomorrow" in Latin) emerges from the crow's mouth.
Although in the English language a crow's cry is rendered as "caw caw," in Italian the sound is "cra cra.",[6] and Latin version was "cras cras".
Réunion Island
Roadside altars dedicated to Expédit are common in Réunion and always painted red.
Expédit has a significant folk following on the French island of Réunion off the east coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. Stories about the origin of his veneration follow the typical formula: a mysterious parcel marked with expedit arrived as an aid to instill pious virtues in the people. Another version says that Expédit acquired his name through his help in placing vengeful curses. Decapitated statues of the saint are often found, the defacement inflicted in anger for a request not carried out, or in order to break an existing curse.
Road-side altars dedicated to Expédit can be as small as a box containing a small statue of the saint, or as large as a hut, containing multiple statues, candles, and flowers. In all cases, these altars are painted a bright red. Also common are ex-votos thanking Expédit for wishes granted and favors received.
In Réunion, the cult of Saint Expédit has been syncretic, with Roman Catholicism absorbing other beliefs from Madagascar or India. Expédit is a popular saint, revered by Reunionnais regardless of age or religion. As the worship of Expédit is officially considered taboo, people do not generally visit the altars in the open. But, the altars are widespread on the island and obviously well-tended, showing that the cult is active. - Success in Lawsuits

Bathroom shelving decor
Color: Black
This isn't made to hold weight. Mdf and metal. Still, made a statement in my bathroom. For me, it's worth the price. Just remember if you're looking for son to tug on, this isn't for you.

Bathroom shelf
Color: Rustic Brown
Shelf will do the job where you have limited space. I do not like the waal anchors. They will leave a hole in the wall you might be able to crawl through.

Great little product
These are nice. They look really good. Nice metal accents with real wood. These are great. They went together pretty easily too. Anyone could do it. The only complaint I had about these is that I had to predrill the holes because they had not gone deep enough at the factory. They had small dimples where the screws were supposed to go. I had to make them actual holes with my drill. Not too bad though. Other than that they are awesome. You could even lightly sand and paint these to be any color you wanted. The metal brackets would pop right out and could be easily reinstalled after the paint dried. I like them a lot. They might be a bit smaller than I had imagined but they are as advertised. If you line up 3 rolls of TP that’s about exactly how big they are. Hope that helps. Take care.
