Pablo Andrade was taken for dead, and they already start reading a funeral service. He testifies his gratitude to Saint James with this retablo because he woke up before he was buried, although he scared his sister so she ended up in the hospital.

Virgin of Guadalupe, we thank you for we met each other 10 years ago in New York and made our love official. But today, after knowing about Donald Trump winning the US presidency, we decided to return to Mexico in fear of being deported and humiliated by his threatening and discriminatory ideas.

I thank Saint Cajetan because I got a job all men are dreaming about—a “Playboy” photographer.

I dedicate this exvoto to Saint George for the health and career of the wrestling legend Mick Foley. I watched with horror when the Undertaker threw him from the cell, and I was surprised that he not only survived but climbed back to fight few moments later. Mick Foley is a remarkable athlete. I wish him many more years of success and happiness.

Everyone was gossiping about my person. I was tired of so much gossip and I prayed Saint Raymond Nonnatus and asked him for help so this would stop. He heard me and calmed everyone down. Now everyone talks with me and greats me well. Thanks to Saint Raymond.

Dear Saint Paschal Baylon, help doña Tere so her restaurant would do well because it’s very delicious here.

Virgin of Guadalupe, I thank you for protecting me from this terrible 7,8 quake. Realizing what was happening I ran to help to recover children from under this school’s debris until the navy and police arrived.

Jose Ramos got food poisoning from strawberry jam which he used during sex with his girl. He almost kicked the bucket. He thanks Saint Elias with the present retablo because he has recovered, and he promises to be more careful.

The pig Luis is making sculptures. Take care of him, Saint John.

I dedicate the present exvoto to Saint Jude Thaddeus thanking him for the success of the movie “Roma” and especially its director Alfonso Cuarón who deservedly took three statuettes at the last Oscar ceremony, and this is the pride of all Mexicans.

Isidoro Sanchez was sick and tired of his wife and mother-in-law treating him like a servant and commanding in his own house. That’s why he entrusted himself, with all his might and faith, to Saint Raymond so as the things would change. As he promised, he brings the present retablo giving thanks because now he’s the one in charge.
