Born in Peru in 1586, her given name was Isabel. She was very beautiful. As a baby, her family started to call her Rose. She loved and worked hard to help support her poor parents. When it came time to find a husband, her mother placed a crown of roses on her head to adorn her. Rose, regretfully, had to disobey her family, for her love of Jesus was so great that she did not want to marry. She stuck thorns in the crown that pierced her head, and she rubbed her cheeks with pepper so they would blister. By doing these things, she felt she would not be a temptation to any suitors. Several miracles are attributed to her after her death. She was canonized in 1671.
"Beautiful and beloved Rose, bless my garden with bounty so they may be of benefit to everyone I serve."

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.
