OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL RETABLO
Our Lady of Mount Carmel is the title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in her role as patroness of the Carmelite Order. The first Carmelites were Christian hermits living on Mount Carmel in the Holy Land during the 12th and 13th centuries. Since the 15th century, popular devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel has centered on the Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (also known as the Brown Scapular), which is associated with promises of Mary's special aid for the salvation of the devoted wearer.
Carmelites see in the Blessed Virgin Mary a perfect model of the interior life of prayer and contemplation to which they aspire, as well as the person who was closest in life to Jesus Christ. She is seen as the one who points Christians most surely to Christ, saying to all what she said to the servants at the wedding at Cana, "Do whatever he [Jesus] tells you."
Print from original art mounted on wood with leather strip for hanging, 5" W x 6" H.

ST. ANTHONY
Finder of Lost Things
Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), a disciple and friend of St. Francis of Assisi, became known as the finder of lost things because of a simple story from his life: a Franciscan novice took Anthony's Psalter without permission. Anthony prayed for its return. The novice had a frightening apparition and rushed to return the book. Many people view Anthony as the finder not only of lost articles but also of lost intangibles: he is invoked to return lost health, lost happiness, lost peace....
In this depiction, Anthony holds his Psalter in one hand; in the other he holds a medieval key: medieval keys, like their modern brethren, were often lost.
Cast in stone and painted by hand. Includes gift box & story card. 5 1/4" x 2" x 1" Made in USA.
