I wanted to surprise my family so I dressed up as Santa Claus and got in the house to put the gifts around. One thing I didn’t think through is that my dog Rambo wouldn’t recognize me, attack me and chase all around the house. I thank Saint Charbel for my wife could hold the dog before he did more damage to the house and bit my rented Santa Claus costume in pieces.

Azucena gives infinite thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for helping her to find a job as a prostitute to make money for her son’s heart surgery whom she loves so much. She asks you to always protect her in her job, Virgin.

Victor C. and Cristina M. wanted each other very much, but they didn’t have money for the hotel so they made love in the pigeonry. They infinitely thank Saint Francis for nobody noticed them, although it wasn’t very pleasant because of too much pigeon poo.

I wanted to add more realism to my character from the pastorale, and I had an idea to put more flares. By accident, I put the tail of my costume on fire. I thank the Lord of Chalma for one of my companions acted fast and found an extinguisher. If not I would have got all burned because everybody was thinking it was part of our performance.

With this retablo, I’d like to thank Saint Jude Thaddeus for all the times he has saved me from death. I always entrust myself to him because I know I’m a hard case.

I ask the Virgin of Guadalupe for this bizarre animal that comes out from the corn field every night and goes to the nopal cacti and then disappears, I ask for him not to be evil and better if he’d go away.

Holy Mary, thanks, Holy Virgin Mary, for your loving protection, thanks for your love and this rebirth, thanks for this serenity after so many difficulties.

Mr. Mario Rosales came home and found his little son at the bottom of the pool. He gives infinite thanks to Child of Atocha with the present retablo for he saved him in time and the son didn’t have consequences.

We thank Jesus Malverde because the cartel people brought the Christmas presents to the children, as they do every year.

I heard some noise in the night, I woke up and saw a dead men coming into the house. I implored you, Virgin of Guadalupe, not to let him come to me, and you heard me. Thanks.

We thank Holy Mary for when a cat similar to ours, with the same spot on the tail, got the habit of coming to our house, we were able to tell one from another and let inside only our cat, who came from Ural. Since then we feed the other cat in the yard, but two times per day.
