My husband Jasinto spent all days drinking in the pub with his friends. I always had to go after him so he wouldn’t end up lying on the street and so would nothing bad happen with him. I ask the Lord of the Wonders to help my husband to quit drinking. Thanks to his divine intervention, my husband now is a good-working man and doesn’t drink.

The Day of the Dead, I decided to put an altar for my recently deceased wife. So I cooked her favorite dishes. That night, I heard some voice calling me. I went to the sitting-room and I saw, with astonishment, that it was my wife scolding me for bad cooking and oversalting the food. I thank Saint Charbel for I saw my angry and complaining wife only that night, since she was also unbearable when she was alive.

I thank Saint Paschal with this humble retablo because I won the town chiles en nogada contest. Many people ask me about my secret of its delicious taste, and I always say that it is the love that I put in it. My eternal devotion to Saint Paschal.

A. B. had problems with flatulence and she was terrified to have a boyfriend because of that. She is infinitely grateful to Saint Anthony with this retablo because he sent her a boyfriend who didn’t care about stinking. Moreover, he even likes when she farts right in his face.

As a sign of gratitude to the Holy Virgin of the Solitude for the miracle of saving me from being torn apart by sharks when Toño and I were fishing in Celestun on October 15, 1962.
