Thanks to Saint Jude Thaddeus because my girlfriend’s mother miraculously didn’t find me hiding in the closet despite that the closet door didn’t close and the dog couldn’t stop barking at me. She only told my girlfriend off and after that we spent the rest of the night together.

Thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for the miracle that my uncle Toño Lopez G. was saved when he was attacked by a giant crocodile. Thank you, my Mother.

Virgin of Guadalupe, thank you for recovering my son Santiago from a very dangerous open heart surgery. Now he’s feeling well and the flame in his heart is alive more than ever.

Thanks, Virgin of Guadalupe, because my husband forgave me after seeing me in the arms of a so to say friend of mine. We hadn’t seen each other many years, and I invited her for a drink. We began to toast, and she took me to dance, warmed up after drinking. My husband imagined the worst thing about me and wanted to divorce me. I begged you not to let this happen, and he forgave me. I’m very grateful and bring you this retablo.

Thanks, Holy Virgin, for having stayed together with my boyfriend for 25 years.

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, I’m entrusting my son to you. Look after him because he’s going to fight the narcos.

Señor Sergio P. thanks Saint Elias with this retablo because he managed to liberate himself from a broad who enjoyed squeezing his balls so he couldn’t even walk.

I dedicate this exvoto to Saint James the Apostle in honor of talented Nicholas Vince. He performed many memorable roles and played them well, even with a lot of makeup and costumes. He is truly a master of his craft.
