Milagro



Milagros are prayers of a sort, created in Mexico, and, I assume, other Latin American countries that are Catholic. They are often in the shape of the thing prayed for...eyes for good vision, hearts for safe journey through open heart surgery or love, etc...I loved this idea, and this hand is one of my visions of the milagro. Hands can plant all sorts of seeds, some of which I have listed around the border. May our hands be miracles of the everyday.

You have inspired me to try my hand at a Milagro - I saw some at Soul Food and loved them, but this is simply magnificent.

A great pic and a great concept, to be practiced by one and all.
