Saint Drogo Retablo Ornament

Patron Saint of Coffee and Baristas. Drogo was a Flemish nobleman born in 1186. He was orphaned in his early teens. When he was 18 he gave up everything he owned and became a penitential pilgrim. He made nine long pilgrimages to Rome. Later he became a shepherd in France. He was said to be seen by many in two places at once; tending his sheep and simultaneously at church. He suffered a great disfigurement. He felt so hideous, he stayed hidden in a cell attached to the church for 40 years until his death. Lynn Garlick Retablos grew organically over a period of 20 years. To create these heart-felt paintings of saints, angels and blessings, Lynn has brought to the folk art of Retablo making, all the skills and passions that she has learned through a lifetime of drawing, woodworking and painting. She is a long time resident of Taos, New Mexico. Moved by the sacred art of the retablo paintings and the santeros (saint makers) who made them, she started creating them herself. Lynn handcarve
