When Elisa and I were engaged, she was so jealous that on the day of the wedding, after the banquet, she was on edge and she died of indigestion. Three years later I decided to marry again. I met a nice beautiful girl, and we got married. After our honeymoon, when we were back, my first wife Elisa’s ghost began to appear in our bedroom. She was furious and stared at us with anger. I was frightened, I prayed the Virgin of Zapopan. Moreover, I took some holy water form the priest and sprinkled it over the house. It, probably, helped, and the Elisa’s soul rested in peace. I thank because now we can sleep at ease, without her accusatory glance.

My daughter became fat and she was told about a green diet. She ate only celery, cabbage, cucumbers, chards, spinach and other verdure. She went to the garden, sat under the tree and ate. Some time later she got thinner, but her skin was becoming greener. Even her hair got greenish. I thank the Virgin for my daughter changed her diet for a normal one, and her natural color came back. It looks so much nicer than green.

Lidia Castro was very proud of her vegetable-garden, but one day it was flooded with rabbits. They ate the vegetables. Lidia tried to scare them away, but no luck. In despair, she prayed Saint Barbara. The Saint scared the rabbits and they didn’t come back.

The demon of the gluttony possessed me and always whispered me “Oh, Lupe, how delicious it is!” So I kept eating and kept getting fat. My family was angry at me because I wouldn’t leave them anything to eat. One day I overate so much, I felt very bad. I prayed Saint Paschal Baylon for help, and he drove the demon away. So now I eat very little.

My husband not only went to live with this bitch Lupe, but also one day he came to take our pig. I thank Saint Barbara I noticed it in time. The saint gave me enough courage and extra strength to not let him take the pig away.

My life became very complicated. I felt weak and distressed. Then I started to pray to my guardian angel, as when I was little. I wanted him to help me to forget all my tiresome problems. And the angel with his friend came that night. They took my bed, and we flew over the town. I was scared at first, but then I saw the sky over me. It was full of stars. And under me there was the world. It seemed so small. Suddenly my heart got filled with great happiness, and I couldn’t think nothing but the boundless beauty around me. Now I live a full and much more happier life.

My wife heard a strange noise. She went outside to look what happened. Suddenly she was caught by a nagual. He took her and ran to the corn field. She was scared, she started praying to the Virgin of the Rosary of Talpa. The nagual stopped to eat some crickets, and that moment my wife could escape. She locked herself in the house. Now, when we hear some noise at nights, we do not go out. We thank the Virgin.

When my children and I were crossing the waterfall our mule fell off the cliff. We thank Holy Child of Atocha for it was caught by branches and the saint gave us enough strength to pull it up. I have no other explanation but miracle that I did it only with the help of my kids.

On the day of my wedding, I panicked and had serious doubts about my future. I didn’t want to go to the church, so my family tried to force me because they liked my husband-to-be so much. My little brother was particularly anxious to pull me out because he couldn’t wait to get my room. My mother literally dragged me to the church, and I thanks Saint Anthony for she did so. Now I’m very happy with my beloved husband. He treats me like a queen and loves me much as I love him.

I bought my son Manuel rain boots. He was so happy, he walked through the puddles. But one puddle turned out to be a deep pit, and he fell in it. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for other children who were on their way to the school saw what happened and helped Manuel to get out. Otherwise, he would have drowned. I offer this retablo in gratitude.

My little daughter is a very good swimmer, but I still worried that she might swim far and couldn’t get back to the shore. So I thank the Holy Child because our faithful dog became her nanny and it brings her back every time after swimming. With such a helper I can rest and do not worry very much.

I was a very attractive man always hanged round by the ladies. I have deceived and cheated on many of them—out of pure vanity. But it happened so Lupita put an evil eye on me and said that I would burn in hell. That night, the demon came to my bedroom, sat down and said, smoking a cigar “Do you come with me, buddy?” I prayed to Saint Michael the Archangel. Probably even the name of the archangel made the devil disappeared. And I promised to not deceive a woman ever again.

The Ana Maria Renteria’s husband was a very jealous man. He kept being jealous even in their old age. That bothered Ana Maria a lot. But the worst part was that he wouldn’t stop even after his death. He kept appearing and watching her. Ana Maria was scared and prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan for the miracle of calming down her husband. Then the ghost stopped appearing, and she thanks the Virgin for that.
