San Felipe was born in the same village as Peter and Andrew. He was a follower of John the Baptist. He became the third disciple. When Christ said 'follow me.' Jesus, seeing the great multitude of people before him, filled San Felipe's baskets with enough bread so that all who were hungry could eat. On the evening before the Passion of the Lord, Jesus said to San Felipe, 'He that seeth me, seeth the father' (John 6-9). The Feast Day is May 3rd. "San Felipe may what we bake be of true sustenance, nourishing the body, mind and soul."

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.
