While being on vacation in Tokyo during the summer 2019, something extraordinary happened. The night of July 26, an enormous monster attacked the city. A giant reptile of huge size was destroying everything on its way, sowing death and terror. Seeing this, I could only ask the Virgin of Guadalupe for intervention, and some time later Godzilla got lost in the sea.

Summer 1974, I was on vacation in Tokyo when something extraordinary happened. The night of July 26, an enormous monster attacked the city. A giant reptile of huge size was destroying everything on its way sowing death and terror. Seeing this, I could only ask the Virgin of Guadalupe for intervention, and some time later Godzilla got lost in the sea.

When I was a little boy my father showed me a Godzilla movie. I was fascinated by this gigantic monster and became a fan of this kind of movies. I promised myself to go to Japan one day. With this retablo, I thank Saint Charbel with all my heart because thanks to my savings I could realize my dream and to know the city that my favorite monster destroyed in his movies.
