Lucio and Pedro dedicate this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe because Raul didn’t found out that we cheated on him after coming back from the gym. I’m very sorry and ask forgiveness for such a dirty trick, and I promise to make him happy.

With fortitude, I survived a peritonitis that almost took my life and I survived in an ICE detention centre where I lived in the last years. I was seeing dehumanisation of people for more than 19 months. ICE is a system created and used to psychologically torture human beings who fall into their claws. I thank God for sending me health and freedom.

Señora Alicia Rivera was captured in the airport when she was trying to smuggle two hundred thousand undeclared dollars. She testifies her gratitude to Saint Rita with this retablos because she got a great lawyer who managed to reduce her sentence in exchange for testifying about her husband’s corruption.

I had a fall and injured my leg. I was very sad thinking that maybe I could never join my dance group again. I prayed Saint Jude Thaddeus for my recovery, and he made me a miracle of curing me. Now I can dance son jarocho again which I’m so much passionate about. May you be blessed.

Thanks, Holy Virgin, for all your favours, especially for letting my dear friend Filemon Ramos and me stay in the living world. We let ourselves loose with very hot and sexy chicks.

Laura R. got tremendously scared when her father caught her dancing in a club for men. She fervently thanks Saint Bruno for he didn’t beat her to death and already forgave her.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe. A thief got into our building to steal. He tried to enter in the apartment by the roof. But he got tangled up in one of my underwear, so we managed to catch him.

When we were coming back home from the town fair, a terrible nagual appeared in our way. It was big as a cow and it was fluttering in front of us. I was afraid he would harm my children so I invoked to Saint Michael the Archangel who came with his shinning sword. When the nagual saw him he fled in fear. I thank for the miracle.

Holy Child of Atocha, thank you for your favours. It happened so that I got pregnant. I didn’t want another baby because I already have two. I told about this to my friend and she gave me a tea which was very effective according to her. After drinking it, I felt very sick for two days and I vomited right on the street. I went to a doctor, and he told me that I got poisoning. They immediately gave me an enema, and I got better. When the baby was born, he was very healthy by a miracle. I really didn’t want more children. I ask the Holy Child for forgiveness because I didn’t know who is the father and that’s why I wanted to abort the baby. I’m very sorry.

I, Sonia Hernandez, give thanks because my husband Pablo Reyes has approved my relationship with my martian lover and now three of us can live happily in love.

On December 25, 2021 James Eddy woke up with covid so he petitioned Santa Rosalia, the patroness saint of plagues and San Roque, the patron saint of epidemics and disease, and he was cured. He rendered this retablo to commemorate the divine intervention and his subsequent miraculous recovery which occurred on January 1, 2022. Executed in the City of San Francisco on this 18th day of January in the year of our Lord, 2022.

In 1939, my house was flooded with rats. I didn’t know how to get rid of them. Then my friend gave me two cats. I implored Saint Pancras, and the cats got done with the rats. I give infinite thanks for that.

Puebla

I dedicate the present retablos to the Virgin of the Solitude for saving our lives, when we were struck by a lightning, and the deck got on fire, and we were under the threat of shipwreck. We implored to save our lives, and, since we were saved, we now dedicate this retablo.
