They are also carried as a sort of protection, that is, if the saint/angel is blessed. People carry pocket saint/angels with devotion, commitment, affection, and love. Display a retablo: They are displayed in homes to honor the saint/angel or given as gifts of fortune and inspiration, retablos reflect a beloved historical tradition and cultural artistry.History: The retablo, or ʻboard behind the altarʼ, was originally created in New Mexico in the 1800ʼs in response to the lack of Bibles and Icons being sent from the church in Rome. The Santero (saint maker) painted retablos from pigment collected and ground from the local surroundings. The boards were hand hewed usually of ponderosa pine or tin. The practice has carried down through the generations and is still done this way today. Artist: Lynn Garlick: Her original designs are hand-carved and painted with watercolor or occasionally oil on the traditionally used ponderosa pine planks. Then the high quality prints of the originals are decoupaged onto pine boards, in an old school technique used for the Italian altar screens of medieval Europe and are finished with polyurethane. These prints are produced with a deep appreciation of the santero and what has come before.
