Welcome Spring 2014!
L
Lenten & Easter Season are a time of reflection for many


and a time of Saints & Sinners for all at The Folk Tree

E

Easter is the most important holiday of the festival calendar for many Mexican Catholics. The abundance of Easter and Lenten season rituals, such as processions, dances, and other observances are evidence of its significance.  
To commemorate this season, The Folk Tree offers a wide range of folk art including crosses created in a variety of materials; ceramic, wood and paper mache angels, devils, saints, Virgen de Guadalupe figures; retablos; milagros and other devotional objects - from Mexico and elsewhere.

Italy, San Francisco, merchants and stowaways.
