My mother-in-law always criticized my food because she didn’t like me as a daughter-in-law. It was very difficult for me when we were eating. I was in such despair so I entrusted myself to Saint Paschal, and little by little she changed her attitude towards me. Now she even admits that I cook very well, and when we eat we are all peaceful.

May you be blessed!

“The Golden Mask” is thanking the Virgin of San Juan with this retablo because he fairly won the wrestling championship. His rival, “The Sinister Ghost”, wanted to beat him with a trick but “The Golden Mask” noticed it and quickly applied a camel clutch oh him and defeat him.

One night I was selling cold beer at the wrestling arena. I was distracted and didn’t noticed that the wrestler Superpig jumped off the third rope and almost fell on me. I thank the Virgin of Juquilia because I stepped away in time. Otherwise he would have squashed me.

My rooster The Colorado had to fight with The White Cock. It was famous for being very fierce. I prayed to Saint Francis of Assisi so that nothing would happen with my rooster and he would survive the fight. No only he survived, but won the fight. Now my rooster is the best in the area. I dedicate this retablo for that.

The mariachi band “Son of Tlaquepaque” thanks Saint Cecily with this retablo for made our singer Lupita, who sings so badly, understand that because of her howling we were losing clients and she’d better play the trumpet. So now the things are going better, and we’re happy.

I went to USA as illegal immigrant to work. I missed my family so much, and I asked the Virgin of Guadalupe for a miracle to be with them. Few years later, I finally came back, at the height of the December holidays, to stay forever with my wife and my kids.

I was desperate after I had been fired. I didn’t know how I would provide for my family. Then I had an idea to sell tacos by nights. I entrusted myself to Saint Jude Thaddeus, so he would help me. With his divine help I’m doing pretty well and I have many clients. May you be blessed.

One night I heard some noise from the sitting-room. When I went to look what it was, I saw a thief who was entering in the house through window. I hid behind the armchair and asked Saint Nicholas from Bari for protection. Suddenly I had an idea to bark like a dog. The thief got scared and ran away without taking anything. I thank for that.

I invited my girlfriend over for dinner. I wanted to impress her and decided to cook something without knowing how to cook at all. So I almost burnt my entire kitchen. I thank Saint Paschal Baylon because nothing serious happened, and I promise to take cooking lessons.

I asked for a lifeguard job without knowing how to swim. I thought it wouldn’t be very difficult and I could meet nice girls on the beach. But one day I almost drowned trying to save a lady who, I thought, was drowning. But she was only doing some exercises. I thank Saint Peter because the lady knew how to swim and she saved me. So I’d better sell coconuts on the beach.

I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus with this retablo because he didn’t leave me when I so needed him. I was going to close my shop, because of lack of clients. But one day a deputy came to my shop and asked for a haircut. He was so pleased with it that he recommended me to his family and the friend from high society. And my life changed.

I was being told that because I’m so fat I’d be an old maid forever. It saddened me, so I prayed to Saint Antony for a lover who’d love me for who I am. He fulfilled my wish, and now my Pepe makes me happy. He asked me for marriage with a serenade, and all my friends were envy. They always criticized me, but it was me who got married first.

With this retablo, we thank Saint Jude Thaddeus, from the bottom of our hearts, for a very good fish season. Thanks to that we managed to open our fish shop at the city market. So now we can help our parents. May you be blessed.
