St Hildegard Von Bingen Mini Wooden Retablo

St. Hildegard Von Bingen Retablo - Patronage of Mystics, Writers, Composers, Visionaries and Philosophers.
 
She was founder of natural history in Germany. She started having visions at the age of three. Instructed by God she wrote her visions down in a book called Scivias (Know the Way). She wrote visionary theology, botanical and medicinal works, supervised illuminations of her work and wrote choral music that is still produced today.
 
Text she wrote at the back of the Retablo: "Humanity, take a good look at yourself, inside, you have heaven and earth, and all creation. You are a world, everything is hidden in you. There is music of heaven in all things and we have forgotten how to hear it until we sing."
 
A Retablo is a devotional painting derived from traditional Catholic Church Art, often on rectangular wooden board that illustrate holy images such as Christ, the Virgin Mary or Saints.
