Fiacre was born in Ireland. He moved to France for solitude. He built a hermitage and an oratory in honour of the Virgin Mary.
 
He kept both a vegetable and herb garden and had a hospice for travellers. He was wildly known for his holiness and healing powers.
 
'Let the rain and the sunshine and all good things of the earth feed my garden so it may be abundant and good. With joy and gratitude I celebrate that which God has given. May my garden nourish all who share in its bounty.'
 
A Retablo is a devotional painting derived from traditional Catholic Church Art, often on rectangular wooden board that illustrate holy images such as Christ, the Virgin Mary or Saints.
