I thank the Lord for giving me the idea to make my cow more interesting just by painting Sartre’s face on her sirloin area.

Alfredo M. was badly beaten during a protest. He was severely injured and had a risk of becoming blind. He thanks Saint James with this retablo because it didn’t happened and he’s got recovered.

When we got stuck on a railway track, the Virgin of Guadalupe sent us two farmworkers with a mule. They helped us to cross the track right before the train. We thank for that.

With all my heart, I thank Saint Paschal because the people love my food and they’re happy.

My son Paco had a fever. He had hallucinations with skeletons that were flying around him. They laughed and wanted to take him with them. I was scared and I prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, so she would bring down his temperature.Finally she heard my prayers. Paquito had no more fever and even started to eat. I give thanks to the Holy Virgin.

I thank you, Virgin of Guadalupe, for saving me during the terrorist attack on The Twin Towers.

Viva homosexuality!
Gay. Faggot. Happy. Hooray!
Pedro Reyes thanks the Virgin.

My sons went to the movie to watch a movie with monsters and mummy without asking my permission. After the movie they were so scared, that when they were going through a dark alley they imagined that there was a mummy growling at them. But my Samuel took out his medallion of the Virgin of San Juan, and the mummy got scared. So the kids ran away, and this monster didn’t follow them. I thank the Virgin for protecting my sons.

We offer this retablo to the Virgin of San Juan for the miracle that we arrived to USA after we had met the immigration police but managed to escape.

Catalina M. had a marvelous idea to film herself and her boyfriend having sex. But the scumbag put it on the internet. Catalina thanks Saint Sabinus (?) because she found out and deleted the video. She hopes to overcome this trauma.

Because of our lack of money, we couldn’t build a stable. And every time when it rained, my wife brought the cow in the house so that it wouldn’t get wet. I hated to see cow’s muzzle waking up. I prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe for money for the stable, so now the animal sleeps over there.

Virgin of Guadalupe, I promise not to drink pulque nor mescal, or the death would take me. O, Mother Holy Virgin, help me not to get drunk again.

The evening of July 24, 1953, Antonio Ramos went swimming after eating too much. He had a congestion and started to drown. Thank to the Virgin of Zapopan he was saved in time by some fishermen. Now he is alright, and he thanks the Virgin.
