They were both so convincing that I couldn’t tell who the real Jesus.

We heard in the news about frost and snowing coming next night. Our mayor even ordered to organize the shelters for homeless. But nobody thought about animals. So my daughter and I went to take every cat and dog from the street. We shelter them in our house, and we feed them. We thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for they didn’t fight with each other and stayed quietly through the frost.

The young man Raul Sarmiento ate a lot of dry chili peppers in order to impress his fiancée. He had a choke from it. He thanks Saint James for nothing serious happened and promises never to do it again.

When a giant octopus attacked me I was miraculously saved by seagulls. Thank you, Virgin.

I’m thanking the Virgin of Fatima for giving me enough strength to became the first parish priest in wrestling, even though I already have three imitators.

Gregorio Dominguez was caught by police for raping a girl. He got several months behind the bars. He thanks Saint Raymond and promises to mend his ways.

A big furious swine started chasing us when we were on our way to Silao. We thanks the Lord of Villaseca, for we managed to run away from it because the animal was running very fast.

Joaquin R. thanks Saint Jude with tis retablo for being able to buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle. And now all his friends are jealous.

Nicolas Hernandez offered this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe because she saved him from being eaten by the sharks when he was surfing at the beach while on honeymoon with his wife. When I noticed the danger, I entrusted myself to you and now I’m alive to tell about it.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint Vladimir because I am having a great time in Vatican City.

The vegetable garden of the Rios sisters, Rosa and Catalina, was flooded with rabbits. They ate everything but the sisters didn’t dare to kill these little creatures of the Lord. So they prayed to Saint Francis to take the rabbits under his control. The Saint heard them and the rabbits never came back.

My cousin and I discovered a place where the mermaids reunited. We noticed that they always returned over there to chat and play. So we had the idea to rent boats and bring tourists to look on the mermaids. Our business is going very well because everybody in the world wants to see such a wonderful show. And it seems we don’t bother the mermaids very much. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan for making us rich.
