One of four Archangels here to watch over humanity. He appeared to both the Virgin Mary and to St. Elizabeth, John the Baptist's mother, to announce the holy birth of Jesus and John. He is said to be the trumpeter of The Last Judgement. He is the angel who revealed the Quran to Mohammed. He is recognized in all three Abrahamic faiths.
"Glorious Archangel Gabriel, you are white light streaming through a window, swiftly circling the room, sweeping fear and doubt away, filling my being with a startling, profound sense of love. I am not alone. At this moment I can move forward unafraid, focused in my aspirations, dreams, and creativity. I am able to begin all things new again."

Lynn Garlick Retablos Lynn started carving, painting, and producing her retablos in 1993. Her workshop is located in the high desert town of Taos, New Mexico. The retablo, or “board behind the altar”, was originally created in New Mexico in the 1800’s in response to the lack of Bibles and Icons being sent from the church in Rome. Lynn paints her originals retablos on traditional pine boards carving and then painting them with watercolor or occasionally oil and finishes them with a polyurethane. The originals are then reproduced and mounted on1/8 inch baltic birch. The backs are laser engraved with a prayer or information relating to each saint.
