Book Synopsis Mexican Folk Retablos by : Gloria Fraser Giffords
Book excerpt: The first part of the book is given to an analysis of folk retablo painting. The second part concentrates on iconography and on why certain images of Christ, Mary, and the saints were venerated. The third part examines ex-votos, small images painted to commemorate the donor's gratitude for a favor.
