My cat and I became old and withered. We didn’t do anything. I was knitting needless scarves, and my cat was sleeping on the cushion. But one day I took three stray kittens. At first, my cat was unfriendly towards them, but step by step these little creatures brought joy to our lives. Now my old cat even plays with the kittens, and I’m enjoying watching them run, jump and play with each other. I thank Saint Francis for these kittens.

The Virgin of Guadalupe gave me the delight of flying three nights in a row. I flew under the moonlight, over the fields and over the towns. Although my husband told me it were only dreams, I know it was real. I thank the Virgin for the beautiful and unusual experience and dedicate this retablo to her.

We lived happily with my wife Patricia all our life. But then she got insane. Her behavior was frightening. She threw stuff and even furniture when she was mad. And she lost her temper over nothing. I prayed to the Holy Child of Atocha. Thanks to him my sister gave to my wife some herbs. With those herbs, and also with some pills prescribed by the doctor, her madness was over. I thank for that.

I was washing the clothes in the river, when one of my shirt was taken by the current. I rushed to catch it, but the current was so strong, that I was carried down to the waterfall [...] I hit the rocks, but thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe I managed to get out the water [...] I thank the Virgin because now I’m getting better.

Amalia and Roberto were kissing under a tree and suddenly heard a crying. They saw the Weeping Woman who was coming in their direction in search of her children. They knew that the ghost sometimes took people thinking they were her children. Amalia and Roberto were scared that she would grab them with her long nail and would take them to the world beyond. But thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan, whom they entrusted to, the ghost didn’t noticed them and passed through. They only heard how her crying fade away in the woods.

Bartolo and Jaime Aguirre give thanks to Saint Peter for an incredible fishing season. So now they are going to buy a new motorboat.

My late wife was very jealous. When I got married again, several years after her death, suddenly her ghost started to appear by nights. Her face was angry and she wanted to strangle me. I was scared and prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan so that she would rest her soul. Thanks to the Virgin the ghost never appeared again and rested in peace, I hope.

I loved very much my grandmother Lupita who was like mother to me. On April 7,1966 she suddenly started to feel pain in the chest. I was repeating the saint name of the Virgin of Guadalupe so that my grandmother wouldn’t die from heart attack like doña Camelia (?). And the Virgin worked the miracle. The pain was gone, and now my grandmother feels much better.

Cornelio Benitez got lost in the desert with his donkey. He was so desperate when he saw the vultures flying over him. He asked the Virgin of Guadalupe for guiding him in right direction. And so he and the donkey came out of the desert. He thanks for this miracle.

Lucia Martinez bought a new dress and her first high heeled shoes. She dressed up and went with her little brother to the town square so that all the boys could admire her. But when she was going up the stairs one heel got stuck in the crack and she fell on her back. Lucia gives thanks for she didn’t fall on her brother, nor the dog. Although the stairs were high, Luisa didn’t hurt herself either. She only bruised her elbow. She gives special thanks because the heel didn’t break.

My husband Bonifacio became crazy after he had had a high temperature. He walked by house breaking all the stuff. I didn’t know what to do and I asked the Virgin of Zapopan to help me. Thanks to her intervention the sense of reality came back to my dear Bonifacio. Now he behaves like a normal person and doesn’t break anything.

The Graciela’s puppy fell off the cliff but thanks to the Virgin he could hold out on a small ledge. With help of the Virgin of Zapopan Graciela could save him without falling down the danger abyss herself. She thanks with this retablo for saving her puppy.

My kitchen had been flooded with rats. I couldn’t get rid of them. They were so big and there were so many of them. All my family was frighten. The rats became so impudent that they came out at any time. I was desperate and I promise a retablo to Saint Paschal Baylon if he could help me. The saint promptly helped me and the rats disappeared in the next few days.
