I thank the Holy Virgin because I was a very weak lad and everybody bullied and beat me. Until one day I found a gym, where one year later, after so much effort, I became a real muscleman. Also, in the gym, I can admire other guys who are shaped as well as I am and make friends with them.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, for whom it is impossible not to have compassion on the afflicted, have pity on us miserable sinners and grant us the grace which we ask of you, through the sorrowful and immaculate heart of Mary, your tender mother.

I thank the Virgin Mary because after almost five years saving, I managed to purchase my own brand new lawn-boy.

All of my fighting cocks had been massacred before. So I entrusted myself to the Goddess of the Sea, and my rooster Thunder has not lost a battle since then. He has earned the respect and a lot of money for me.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint de Porres because with his intervention my son Vicentico and I were cured from terrible sores filled with pus and blood. And now we can celebrate my son’s birthday.

I dedicate this retablo to the Virgin Mary because I found the pig we had lost.

Thanks to Saint George I realized that a cheetah protects much better than any bodyguard.
