'ANGEL'S LANTERNS' III
DEDICATED TO BLESSED FRANCISCO
MARTO

|
Francisco (middle) was born 11 June 1908. He was a 'very sensitive and contemplative child' according to those who knew him. He loved music and played a flute so his little sister and cousin could dance. They called the stars, 'The Angels Lanterns.' Francisco enjoyed playing games with his friends.
THE PATERS SYMBOLIZE THE PUDDLES OF RAIN
He would play jokes on family members but when he saw a boy tease a bird, he gave him all the money he had, a penny or so - in exchange for the bird so he could free it. His life changed dramatically after the apparitions. He matured quickly. His greatest love became the eucharistic 'Hidden Jesus'. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he answered, 'Nothing, I want to die and go to heaven.' He died at home of influenza on 4 April 1919. He was 11. |

We were inspired by the obedient earth as it dried out so quickly under the feet of the observers to the miracle of the dancing sun so named the rosary, 'Obedient Earth.' But when we read that the children called the stars, 'The Angels Lanterns', we renamed the rosary. And realized that the little glass 'puddles' used for the Paters, did indeed reflect the Angels Lanterns in the sky. THIS SIMPLE BROWN ROSARY IS MADE WITH GRAYWOOD AVES TO SYMBOLIZE THE EARTH, AND LITTLE CUBES THAT LOOK LIKE CAPTURED WATER. TRADITIONAL 'ALL IN ONE LOOP'
