San Rafael Retablo "The Shining One Who Heals." For Children Leaving Home and Travel.

One of the four Archangels sent to help Humanity. He is an angel of Compassion, Knowledge and Humor.

Retablos are a devotional folk art form from Mexico and the Southwest US. They are small paintings on wood of Catholic saints and angels. To create these affordable heart-felt paintings of saints, angels and blessings, the artist has brought to the folk art of Retablo making, all the skills and passions through a lifetime of drawing, woodworking and painting. Moved by the sacred art of the retablo paintings and the santeros (saint makers) who made them, pieces are hand carved and painted on traditional ponderosa pine planks. Then a decoupage of the high quality prints are applied onto pine boards, in an old school technique used for the Italian altar screens of medieval Europe. This process has made these high quality printed retablos affordable. These unique items are ready to hang or rest about the house, in a pocket or on an altar. On the back of the retablos is a story of the saint's life. Many of them also have a prayer.

ST. Rafael

This was important to me as my Son had given this me before a medical procedure. It helped me but I then lost the eyeglass case it was in. So I needed to replace it badly. I also enjoyed the other 4 I ordered. Thank you very much. H
