I thank the Virgin of San Juan for enlightening me so I could return back to my house. I had got lost and couldn’t find my way home. I thank for the help and offer this ex-voto.

A truck with pigs crashed in another truck right in front of our house. The truck doors opened, and all the pigs ran away. The truck drivers managed to catch every pig except one. One pregnant pig was hiding in our house. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan for we have four pigs now.

My son Ramon is a good swimmer. One day we swam underwater and he got entangled in the seaweed. I thank Saint Barbara because she made me look back so I saw him entangled. I managed to save him in time so we didn’t drown. I offer this retablo thanking for the miracle.

When I married Lupita, I discovered that she was a terrible cook. She either burnt the food or served it raw. So I had only a kiss for breakfast before going at work. I became thiner and thiner, and our dog, who got all the wasted food, became fatter. But thanks to the prayers to Saint Paschal Baylon, my Lupita finally learned to cook, and now I eat well. I thank for that.

Thank you, Saint Jude, for helping me to get a boyfriend.

My father didn’t like my boyfriend because he was a dirty rocker. But one day my boyfriend won the lottery, and now my dad always receives him with great pleasure. I thank St. Anthony for this miracle.

Fausto Ceballos died on July 23, 1961. His wife prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan for not taking her husband away from her. And during the all-night vigil, Fausto suddenly came back to life. The wife thanks the Virgin for her husband wasn’t buried alive and for her mother-in-law didn’t die out of shock.

Saint Isidore, thank you for bringing us the rains. My cows were dying without water and there was no place to graze them.
