I suspect that this statue isn’t of an apostle, but of St. Martin of Tours (ca. 316-397), one of the apostles’ successors. Geese are a symbol of St. Martin because the story goes that, when named a bishop, St. Martin ran away and hid. He was found by his pursuers when a goose’s honking gave away his hiding place.
