We bought a couple of piglets at the San Pedro fair almost for nothing, because they were sickly and weak. But we nursed and cured them. They grew up big pigs. Thank to the Holy Virgin they had a lot of piglets. So now, our little farm is prospering, and we thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for her blessing.

My daughter’s suitors were getting stranger and stranger. I doubted if they were from this planet. Thanks to the Virgin, now she’s dating a nice guy who looks normal.

My husband and I decided to add more variety to our married life. My husband’s idea was very adventurous and reckless. He wanted to jump on me from the wardrobe, like Tarzan. It cost me some bruises and I couldn’t catch my breath for a while. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for my husband refrains from these dangerous role plays. Now we are experimenting only with aromatic oils and other pleasant things.

I thank you, Holy Virgin, for protecting my animals from a malignant virus.

The Padilla brothers set an ambush to kill me right after I would enter the town. But since my horse sprained its ankle, I entered the town afoot among other people going out of the tavern. The bandits didn’t notice me. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for saving my life and dedicate her this retablo.

My neighbor had a giant monstrous cat. It could eat an entire chicken at once. My kitty was scared to go outside. I prayed the Virgin of Guadalupe so that she would help us in this difficult situation. Thanks to the Virgin’s miracle the neighbor moved away and took her cat with her. Now my kitty can walk outside.
