We had a hail storm in July. Hailstone were as big as eggs. We thank Saint Francis for we managed to bring all our animals in the house before they died from cold and the smaller ones smashed by hailstones.

On the Senksgiving Night of current year of 2013 I kissed the Mariela’s boobs until red wine ran out of it.

It’s all like dedicated to the Miraculous Virgin.

I dedicate this retablo, in sign of gratitude, to Saint Paschal Baylon for the miracle that I learned how to cook Mexican food. Because my husband was tired to eat hot dogs and hamburgers every day. Now my beloved Aureliano and I are happy with what I cook.

I thank Saint Francis with this retablo for helping me to finally find a job as a masseur in public baths.

Maria Rodriguez was washing clothes on the river and saw a cardboard box full of newborn puppies. Some evil man had thrown them into the water. Maria immediately saved the puppies. She thanks the Virgin of San Juan because they are alright and now the puppies are the joy of her house.

I give thanks and dedicate this retablo to the Virgin of Chapi, because, although she was hell of a broad, I resisted the temptation of abusing my sister-in-law Olga, when she fell asleep after my bachelor-party at which we both got drunk.

When my daughter and I were coming back home from the village of San Francisco, we took a wrong way and got lost. It was getting dark, and the night caught us halfway. In the night thousand of fiery eyes were looking at us from the darkness, and we heard horrifying noises. We give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe because an old man was passing by. He saw us and guided us to the right way. Afterwards we arrived to our village very quickly and without problems.

Pascual Diaz was so drunk he saw the devil who tried to pierce him. Only thanks to the miracle of the Virgin of Zapopan Pascual was able to get rid of this vice. He thanks the Virgin.

With this retablo, the young man Luis Ramirez thanks Saint Martin the Cavalryman for the big success of his women’s clothing shop.

I thank Saint Florian, because, through the flames, I discovered the ice in the Juan Luis Alberto’s heart in time.

Forever yours. Anita. 2014.

My kids were attacked by dogs on their way to the school. The animals jumped on them, and my kids entrusted themselves to the Virgin of Zapopan, to whom we always pray. The dogs only took sandwiches from the bags and didn’t bite the kids. We thank the Virgin for that.

Josefina and Rosalia Gonzalez went to visit an aunt in Santo Tomas. A very nice stray dog followed them with her puppies till their house. Josefina and Rosalia adopted them. They give thanks to the Virgin of San Juan because now these animals keep them company in their solitude and protect them from the thieves.

My daughter and I went to the night performance in the circus. When we came out we saw the cages with the animals. And there we met a lion who had escaped. Thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe the lion only roared, sniffed at us and then went away. I’m sure he didn’t like my perfume and it didn’t whet his appetite. We thank the Virgin with this retablo for saved us from being lion’s dinner.
