My third one! Yes, they're that good!
I bought the first one for myself as a confirmation gift because one of our Deacons, in a class for new Catholics, said every Catholic home must have a few things - one of them was a statue or photo or painting, etc., of our Blessed Mother Mary. I bought the second for a woman in my Bible study, who is from Peru and just moved into a new home. I bought the third one for my sister, because when she saw a photo of mine, she fell in love with it - not for the religious appeal, but from a folk art perspective - and after looking at many online, I can't agree more. I watched the video of how the artisan makes the retablo and it added even greater value to it. I simply love them. I love the scene behind Mary - the high mountains, and the flowers, in a wooden box with doors. I mounted mine on a wall in my home office and see it from where I sit. I'm buying the next one as a thank you gift for a close friend who I will be visiting in a few weeks.

Amazing Depiction of Our Lord Jesus Christ
I had purchased an incredibly beautiful cedar wood panel "The Good Shepherd" by Alejandro Ramierz. I was so inspired by the work of art I made a second purchased with this wood panel the "Portrait of Christ". The review I left for 'The Good Shepherd' says exactly how I feel about this amazing work of art by gifted artist Alejandro Ramierz as well. When I opened the cedar relief panel package of Our Lord Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd, in all honestly my heart leaped when a saw its beauty and the light radiating from His face. I absolutely love it! What a wonderful, serene, inspirational work of art! God has blessed you Alejandro Ramirez with the wonderful gift of carving and capturing Our Lord's peace and love for us! What a wonderful reminder to have received during this season of Lent! It is placed in a focal point right when walking in our home for all to see. God Bless and keep you in His care always Alejandro. Thank you very much!
