I can?t believe how hard this must have been to make. Very intricate and beautiful. It?s in my China cabinet now and I will treasure it forever.

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 cant 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. Im buying the next one as a thank you gift for a close friend who I will be visiting in a few weeks.

I just received my stained glass cross, and its great! I like it so very much. I wish I could have walked through the artists own workshop, and chosen one from among many, but I like this one very much, and I was delighted with the way they wrapped it up as a gift. I think I will look at buying more items from Vidri Arte. Very good craftsmanship. Excellent quality!
