Archangel Michael

Archangel Michael defeated Lucifer and hurled the fallen angel into hell. He appeared to Moses in the burning bush, talked with Abraham and inspired Joan of Arc. He has appeared on the battle field in both world wars. He carries a scale because he weighs the soul's nature to determine where we will go when we die. At the world's end, it is said, that he will do final battle with the Antichrist. He is recognized in Judaism, Christianity and the Muslim faith.

"Glorious Archangel Michael, Great Protector, in the midst of great danger grant me the strength of mind, body and spirit that I may over come the perils I face."

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.
