Translated from Spanish to English, the word Milagro means miracle. These “charms” can be made of silver, tin or gold, bone, wood, or wax; and come in many shapes and sizes: from hearts, hands, and eyes, to houses, and animals. Milagros can be offered for healing or in gratitude for a prayer answered. Equally they are carried or given for protection and good luck. \u003cbr\u003eThe Milagro set is made of plywood and is unpainted. Enjoy it as is or paint your very own. Instructions included- for best results remove Milagros from plywood sheet and paint individually. String your finished Milagros together to make a wall hanging, give them as Valentine's Day gifts, decorate gifts with them , or hang them on a Christmas tree.\u003cbr\u003eApproximate dimensions for the hand Milagro: 7\" high or 18cm.

Like many of the folk arts, the art form evolved out of a functional practice. In the 19th century farm women hung sheep skins over their farmhouse window openings to keep out the elements. To let in light and air, the women used sheep shears to snip small openings in the skins. The openings evolved into more refined designs that were transferred to paper which allowed for more embellishment.
