The Retablo, or ʻboard behind the altarʼ art form, was originally created in New Mexico in the 1800ʼs, and has been handed down the generations to this day. Lynn Garlick has created this unique two sided icon of Saint Cecilia, patron of musicians.
Details:
Backside reads:"Lady of angelic harmonies and unshakeable devotion,
may the music I make benefit all who hear it.
I am filled with joy and gratitude for the gift of musical expression."
About the Saint: The night of her wedding, Cecilia sat playing the organ asking God for his help because she wanted to devote her life to him, not to a husband. When a suiter Valerian came to her, she told him that she had given herself to God. Valerian's love of her and of God was so great he agreed to be baptized and to give his life also to the service of God. Angels appeared and crowned the chaste couple with lilies and roses. It is said of Cecilia that she sang with angelic harmonies and could play any instrument. She may have even invented the organ.
