During the Lupita’s piñata, my son was hit by a stick. His head was wounded, and he was bleeding. I was scared that he’d become an idiot, so I prayed to the Virgin of the Rosary. Thanks ti her my son had no bad consequences and recovered very quickly.

A giant spider used to build his web over my bed every night, and it looked me down with its devil eyes. At the mornings there was no spider. I cleaned up the web, but the next night it started all over again. Finally, after many prayers to Saint Barbara, I had a dream—the saint pierced the spider with her sword. So the next night the spider didn’t come. I thank for that.

Ana Maria Martinez had a high fever for three days. She saw transparent jelly monsters. They opened their mouths and tried to devour her. Ana thanks the Virgin of Zapopan because the fever declined and Ana doesn’t see those horrible nightmares anymore.

I love to spoil my cats and to give them nutritious and tasty food. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for having such a sweet and indulgent family who lets the cats eat at table.

A stray dog used to follow me when I took my kids to the school. Then it came back to the house with me. The dog showed so much love, so I decided to adopt it. Now, when we washed it and it got fatten, the dog looks quite nice. I thank Saint Francis because this dog is the joy of our house and it even protects the house.

My daughters decided to take a short cut—through the don Pancho’s lands—because it was getting dark. There they saw the devil hiding among the cattle and disguised as cow. In fear they entrusted themselves to the Virgin of San Juan and ran away to the house. Thanks to the Virgin’s protection the demon couldn’t catch them and didn’t put any curse on them.

One night I was coming back home from a bar. I decided to take a short cut through the mountain. There I saw the devil goat. I made the sign of the cross and ran away, although I was pretty drunk. I thank the Virgin of the Rosary because I managed to arrive to my house, the monster didn’t slobber all over me and I only got some gray hair with fright.

The music is a very important part of our family’s life and is with us every day. We love playing instruments near our birds because they begin to sing. It produces a very beautiful sound. I thank Saint Francis because my kids have inherited my musical talent.

I thank Saint Paschal because I was admitted to the monsieur Pierre Bouvier school. He is the best chef but also the most strict teacher in the town of Santo Tomas. Thanks to the saint I cook very deliciously and occasionally invent new dishes. My teacher is very pleased with me. He thinks I’ll be a good chef.

My wife began to sleep with the dogs. Because of that our bed was covered with their hair and it god filled with fleas. I began to sleep on the floor. But thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan’s miracle my wife finally got pregnant and sent dogs to sleep to another place. I offer this retablo for the double favor — I have a son and there are no dogs in my bed.

We thank the Virgin of San Juan because it’s incredible that we managed to sell the haunted house, that we had inherited, to a very eccentric gentleman. When he found out about the ghosts and the apparitions he payed us even more.

My dog was very hungry because with so many work to do I forgot to feed it. The animal pulled the mushroom soup on the floor and ate a lot of it. But afterwards it got sick. It seems there was a poisonous mushroom in the soup. I thanks Saint Paschal for the pet doctor gave serum and other medicine to the dog and saved the animal. Because the dog keeps my company and I love it very much—almost like my children.
