Me and my husband have no kids and maybe because of that we love our pigs so much. When there was the plague that killed pigs in our region we couldn’t sleep. We were worried that our pigs were going to die. But thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe, who protected them, our pigs didn’t get ill. We thank for that.

Humberto Galindo was drunk. He went to the latrine and fell down. He thanks Saint Charbel because he escaped with nothing worse than a fright and had no infection. Although he smelled of shit for two days.

My husband started to kick and gesticulate in his sleep. Sometimes he even pushed me of the bed. I had no idea how to calm him down until one day my neighbor recommended to give him valerian tea with tequila. Now my hubby sleeps like an angel. I give thanks to the Virgin of San Juan.

Elvira Esparza Godinez thanks the Virgin of Sorrows for healing her son who got stung by bees when he passed near by them. I thank you, Virgin, for this miracle.

Housemaid Felipa Garcia was drunk and her hands were shaking. Because of that she broke a marble statuette. She thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe with this retablo because her mistress neither hit her nor fired.

Thank you, Virgin, because Mexico qualified for the World Cup of 2002.

Everybody likes how I cook. People always ask me what is my secret. It’s the Virgin of San Juan who sends her angels to make my food delicious. They add some salt and thyme here and there. And I give thanks to the Virgin for this miracle.

Señora Mercedes was ironing clothes in the house of the Cataña family and was looking after Nicanor, the 10 months old baby. While he was playing he pushed the table, and the hot iron fell down. Realizing what a terrible accident could happen, Mercedes thanks Saint Jude Thaddeus for saving the baby from the iron. She ordered this retablo for escaping from this situation.

Maria Guadalupe and I loved each other, but her brother Poncho was against our relationships. Since he was a sorcerer, he came at nights as a furious nagual to separate us. Only thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe’s help and her blessing, we managed to run away and get married in another town.

I was cleaning my kitchen when I slipped on soap water and fell on the kitten basket. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for the miracle that I didn’t smash them, although I’m pretty fat.

Dolores and Claudia thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for the miracle that their parents accepted their relationship. Now they don’t have to hide and they’re happy.
