Saint given a day? Figures (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

statues

'figures' is the definition.
(sculpted figures)

'saint given a day?' is the wordplay.
'saint' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'given' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'day?' becomes 'tues' (abbreviation for Tuesday).
'st'+'a'+'tues'='STATUES'

(Other definitions for statues that I've seen before include "Sculptured representations" , "Legislative acts" , "Carved figures" , "Commemorations of political leaders, say" .)
