Retablos

Thankful retablo (ex voto) pictures that people usually order from artists to thank the saint for a miracle that happened to them or their relatives. Often this is gratitude for healing, salvation from shipwreck, for the fact that everything is made up of work. But someone gives thanks for the fact that the mother-in-law finally left, for the fact that the husband did not catch the lover, for adding him to friends on Facebook. Three elements of the retablo are necessarily: the image of the event, the situation, the portrait of the Saint and the text with a description and gratitude for divine intervention.The most popular thanksgiving retablo are used in Mexico.
