He was Bishop of Chartres 557–573. Early in the 13th century, the Cathedral of Chartres was being constructed. It was customary for local craft guilds to fund the construction of the stained glass windows. The wood turners’ guild paid for the St. Caletric window. In the window, the saint is depicted above a person using a pole lathe. St. Caletric became the unofficial saint of wood turners and is still regarded as such. This window is the earliest depiction of the pole lathe developed in the Middle Ages.

Holy St. Caletric, may my hands be steady and my eyes behold the beauty in the wood. May my work be of benefit to all who see and hold it

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.
