Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe - Our Lady of Guadalupe Patronage: Suffering and Compassion. Invoked in All General Favors, in Sickness and Against Evil, Particularly War."Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of perpetual help, you have been blessed and favored of God. We come to you as your loving children. Watch over us and take care of us. As you held the child Jesus in your arms so take us in your arms. Protect and keep us safe in all we endeavor to do."Description: In 1531, in Mexico, the Virgin Mary appeared to an Indian man, Juan Diego, saying she would help the native people if Juan would go to the bishop and ask him to build a chapel to her, on the hill where she now appeared. Juan Diego did as he was asked but the bishop did not believe him. He asked for a sign. The Virgin promised Juan she would give him a sign the next morning. He awoke to find his uncle dying. He ran to town for help but the Virgin stopped him, saying she had already healed his uncle and asked Juan to come back for the sign. When he did, the Virgin gave him roses, though it was winter, and told him to wrap them in his tilma. As Juan presented these to the bishop, the roses fell to the floor, and there on his tilma was the image of our Lady of Guadalupe.************************************************************************************************************************************************************ Carry a pocket saint/angel: Some people carry saint/angels because it is their patron saint, as a devotion or a reminder of devotion and prayer. They are also carried as a sort of protection, that is, if the saint/angel is blessed. People carry pocket saint/angels with devotion, commitment, affection, and love. Display a retablo: They are displayed in homes to honor the saint/angel or given as gifts of fortune and inspiration, retablos reflect a beloved historical tradition and cultural artistry.History: The retablo, or ʻboard behind the altarʼ, was originally created in New Mexico in the 1800ʼs in response to the lack of Bibles and Icons being sent from the church in Rome. The Santero (saint maker) painted retablos from pigment collected and ground from the local surroundings. The boards were hand hewed usually of ponderosa pine or tin. The practice has carried down through the generations and is still done this way today. Artist: Lynn Garlick: Her original designs are hand-carved and painted with watercolor or occasionally oil on the traditionally used ponderosa pine planks. Then the high quality prints of the originals are decoupaged onto pine boards, in an old school technique used for the Italian altar screens of medieval Europe and are finished with polyurethane. These prints are produced with a deep appreciation of the santero and what has come before.
