Barbara's father was an abusive man who hid his daughter away from the world. A Christian, disguised as her doctor, came and gave her instructions in faith. Her father ordered a large bath built for her. Because her faith was so great, the bath took on curative powers. While her father was away, Barbara ordered the construction of a third window in honor of the Trinity. When her father returned, he was enraged by her faith. He drew his sword to slay her. She leapt out of the window and found she was able to fly to a cave and hid. Her father found her and took her to the authorities. They demanded she renounce her faith. She would not and was brutally tortured, but did not die. Her father took her into the mountains and cut off her head. As he did this, a bolt of lightning struck him dead.

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.
