A Blessing To Look At Everyday

This retablo has meaning to me being that Peru was the first country that I travelled to outside of the US. Just opening the retablo everyday is a joy. I am reminded of the joy and warmth of the Peruvian people and also of the many Catholic Churches that I visted. The craftsmanship detailing is beyond words. One can just stare and admire it in awe. It is at the center of my altar. I had it blessed on the day that I opened the package. Thank you Ms Erika for the love ?? and passion that you put into making this beautiful retablo that I will treasure forever. ????
