My son Miguelito was blown away from my hands by a strong wind. My son is small and light so he was carried up in the air. But thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan we caught him.

A dog chased a group of girls from the Saint Martin school. Then the dog bit them. The mothers of the girls thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the dog was caught and the examination showed it wasn’t rabid.

Zapopan — August 4, 1963

Who is without sin, speak up now or forever hold your peace, because for love everything is permitted. To those who sinned because of love.

My wife used to read horror stories. Because of that she had nightmares. She woke up at night crying and giving me slaps and kicks. She even pushed me off the bed. I thank the Virgin of San Juan, because now my wife reads love stories. She has nice dreams about handsome men, she kisses them at her dream, and we both sleep in peace.

Thank you, Virgin, for hearing my requests. I didn’t sleep by nights, because the devil kept appearing to me from the well.

Luis Rojas thanks Saint James with this retablo for he managed to leave his house before it got collapsed during the earthquake.

On our honeymoon my wife Juanita and I were on the Acapulco beach. Suddenly a mermaid appeared. She fell in love with me. Out of jealousy she grabbed my wife’s hair and tried to drown her. But thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe I didn’t let her to do so.

August 2, 1959, the dog of the little girl Angelita Torres was hit by a car. The dog was badly injured, but the girl prayed about it to the Virgin of Zapopan. The Merciful Virgin heard her prayers. Angelita thanks.

I dedicate this retablo to the Lord because I got the most amazing bathroom with a big mirror, an armchair and even a bidet for washing the genitalia.

My wife heard the rumor that I flirted with the drugstore employee. My wife got furious from the jealousy and tried to kick me out. Only thanks tho the Holy Virgin of Zapopan I managed to calm her and convinced her that it was only a slander from some gossipy old woman.

I thank Saint Anthony because I married a good man who loves me and the animals. He accepted me with my monkey, two dogs, two cats and my little bird. Now we’re all happy on his ranch.

Gustavo Ortiz liked when his fat girlfriend sat on his face. But one day she got distracted by eating and almost killed Gustavo. He thanks Saint Pancras because he survived. He promises to moderate his fetishes.

Teresa Morales thanks the Virgin of the Solitude with this retablo, because the Virgin every day helps her to sell all tlatloyos prepared at her home.
