Can anybody help me identify a saint?

I got a statue from my uncle for Christmas and he didn't know what saint was depicted. Anybody who does know or who could direct me to a place where I could find out would be appreciated. Here's a photo for reference: http://i.imgur.com/gtCeW.jpg

Update:

The thing in his hand is a church I think. Sorry, that's probably not too helpful.

You know what else isn't helpful? Defining "saint" for me. It's not really pertinent to the question at all.

    It looks like Saint Basil the Great.

    **Correction**

    It is St. Ambrose.

    Ambrose (Bishop), often shown with SS Gregory, Jerome, and/or Augustine or holding a church in his hand, sometimes arguing with a pagan. Other symbols: bees, beehive, dove, ox, pen. (Doc) (LS)

    I thought that it was a book at first.

    it would help in case you gave us the link to the photograph. i attempted googling mastiffs yet would desire to no longer discover a photo similiar to the single you're describing EDIT: this is a white english mastiff named Snow White. this is merely a puppy, that's why there is that this form of massive actual distinction between it and the fawn english mastiff to the left.

  • I can't; sorry. It's quite interesting-looking, though. Perhaps you could take it to a priest, who might be able to identify it?

    Could you describe what he has in his hand? It'd be a dead giveaway.

    You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.

    Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved
