Born about 1225, Thomas became known as "The Light of the Church". His two great works, "Summa Contra Gentiles" and "Summa Theologia" are still considered great books of the Western world. Thomas studied with Albert the Great, a Dominican monk centuries ahead of his time in Astronomy and Chemistry. Thomas received a doctorate and believed in "natural law, " which is where the prohibition on abortion and contraception derives from in the church. As a man who had written all his life, he was suddenly silenced in 1272 when he received a revelation of which he said, "The end of my labours is come. All that I have written appears to be so much straw after all that has been revealed to me".

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.
