Virgin of Guadalupe, I dedicate you this retablo thanking for saving my life. I went to gather hay at my field. I had gathered many bags of it, when I met the Mejio brothers. We had some quarrels since their sister was my fiancée. They tried to kill me spearing me with my own hay fork. Thank goodness, don Alejo was passing by. He saw me and helped to get home.
