I thank the Virgin of San Juan for helping me to get the international championship in the United States, in front of a big audience. I lifted high the name of Mexico and won all my rivals who fought bravely but at the end I was the indisputable winner. I testify that.

Mil Mascaras, 1975

I was swimming when an enormous fish began to swallow me. I was so scared I began to pray the Holy Heart for help. Suddenly the monster had a hiccup and I escaped from it.

Don Roque’s dog was a wild beast. One day my girl got in his yard, and the animal jumped on her. But after snugging her the dog didn’t do anything. I know it was a miracle by Saint Quiteria’s protection.

Doña Teodosia Vallejo
Perote, 1955

I was training for a bicycle competition in my beautiful Cozumel when a damned stone—which I couldn’t avoid—made me lose the control of the bike… the handlebar flew off at the same time. Frightened to fall to the ravine, I entrusted myself to the Holy Heart, and, in its infinite goodness, it saved me from dying.

Maria, Cozumel, Mexico, 2020

I’ve always been a dreamer tucan, and my parents used to tell me that I need to get my head out of the clouds until one day I asked the Holy Virgin of Guadalupe to give me an opportunity for an adventure, and it happened. I’m about to embark to go to Alaska and to live as I always wanted—free. I thank and dedicate this picture.

Tadeo, The Sailor Tucan
Mexico, 2017

Virgin of San Juan, I offer you this exvoto for protecting me from dying when I was trying my luck and fell off the camel. I’m grateful for that.

April 1996, Chetumal

My nephew who travels a lot brought me a beautiful exotic plant. I plant it in the garden, and it grew very fast with my constant care. I water it every day at evening. One day I was watering the plants and felt something moving towards me. I look back, and the plant’s sprouts twisted round my body and squeezed me tight. I couldn’t get out and desperately implored the Virgin of Zapopan for her intervention. So the plant let me go after many struggle. Now I water it only at night, and the plant doesn’t attack me.

Regina Michel, 1977

Dulce Maria Morales’ mother-in-law doña Martiniana used to have anger attacks during which she seemed demoniacal. The father Ruperto told Dulce to pour holy water in the mother-in-law’s tea and to pray to the Virgin of Guadalupe. Some time later she changed. Dulce thanks Our Lady for her help.

Etla, Mexico, 1970

Thank you, My Mother. In your honor, for ever.

El Brazo, 1987

Thanks to the Guadalupan for saving me from such horrible creatures who tried to take me down to the depths of the sea. I thank for intervention and testify such a great miracle.

Maria J.
Tulum, Mexico, 2003

I felt my strength giving out and my body weakening in a tough fight for the title against the Demon of Tampico. I immediately implored Saint Martin de Porres to help me, and I recovered to beat my opponent, and I won the championship. I give thanks.

Lightning from Jalisco, 1969

Holy Virgin, help me to fight my demons.

Mexico

Today, May 20, 2005, I give my faith, devotion and my eternal gratitude to the Holy Virgin Mother of Mexico for many years at the ring. I offer her this small retablo, in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
