History
  • Retablos have a rich history in Mexican folk art, often used to honor saints and facilitate personal connections to spirituality within the home environment.
  • The tradition of creating retablos dates back to the time of colonization, when Catholicism was introduced to indigenous cultures, resulting in a profound blending of artistic styles and spiritual beliefs.
  • Saint Francis of Paola, whose image is depicted, is an important figure in Christian history, known for his miracles and founding the Order of the Minim, reflecting the deep-rooted connections through faith and community.
