Milagros are small metal figures used to thank Christian saints for fulfilling requests in time of need. Milagros as a custom accompanied the Spanish as they arrived in the Americas and continues to be a part of folk culture throughout rural areas of Spain as well as in Central and South American and parts of North America. In Spanish, the word Milagros literally means miracle or surprise. The spirit of Milagros inspires the art in this collection. Twelve members of the Fiber Arts Coalition and ten guest artists have created 39 pieces offering comfort, hope, peace and strength.
