Genesius was an actor who, while performing a blasphemous comic play about Christians and their practices, stopped in mid-performance because he realized he believed what he was saying. He was removed from the play and eventually beheaded for his faith.

"Holy St. Genesius, I humbly ask that my skills as an actor be entertaining, honest, thought-provoking, and bring insight and laughter for the benefit of my audience."

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.
