Sebastian was a Christian soldier who joined the Roman army in 283 AD as the persecution of the Jews intensified, and was able to hide the pope from the Roman Emperor. When the Emperor found out, he had Sebastian shot with arrows. Sebastian miraculously survived. Eventually, because of his faith, he was beaten to death.
"Holy San Sebastian, we are given such wondrous bodies. May I be of good heart and remain centered in my body so I move with strength and grace, performing at my physical best."

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.
