I dedicate this retablo to Saint Nicholas of Bari for the talent that the actor Bruce Davidson has. When I was a child I saw the movie “Willard”. As a result, I have a deadly fear of rats. I hope Bruce doesn’t suffer from the same fear after having shot this horrifying but marvelous movie.

For all those who sin for love

I thank the blessed souls of the purgatory for meeting this precious woman. Her charm and experience gave me confidence and healed my painful affliction that made my masculine pride suffer. Now I can satisfy my wife without any trouble, and she never found out about my visits to this house of pleasures.

Ausencio Lopez thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe because his agaves gave a lot of pulque. He sold it and got money to support his family. Here he asks you, from his heart, to always bless them.

I swear I won’t drink anymore. R. C.

I thank the Lord of Chalma for giving me willpower to stop drinking and regain my wife’s love and my kids’ affection who forgave me the pain I caused them with this damned vice of mine when I was wasting all my money in the bar.

I dedicate this exvoto to Saint George for the health and career of the wrestling legend Mick Foley. I watched with horror when the Undertaker threw him from the cell, and I was surprised that he not only survived but climbed back to fight few moments later. Mick Foley is a remarkable athlete. I wish him many more years of success and happiness.

I, Joana Morales, pay to the Virgin of Guadalupe with this exvoto because you have delivered me from illnesses, bad men and other dangers. Thanks!

Virgin of Guadalupe, I thank you for protecting me from this terrible 7,8 quake. Realizing what was happening I ran to help to recover children from under this school’s debris until the navy and police arrived.

I dedicate the present exvoto to Saint Jude Thaddeus thanking him for the success of the movie “Roma” and especially its director Alfonso Cuarón who deservedly took three statuettes at the last Oscar ceremony, and this is the pride of all Mexicans.

Mexico City

We thank you, Holy Virgin, because we were worried when Dalai Lama arrived but everything went well. He brought us a message of peace in the new millennium, uniting the people of all social classes. You took care of him and you were a godly witness that Dalai brought us blessings and shared them with us.

Mexico City, October 2004

I give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe who finally worked a miracle for me and liberated me from that voyeur neighbor who was always spying on me when I showered.

Señorita Angelica Moreno
Mexico City, 1971

Virgin of Guadalupe, I’m offering you this retablo for getting me out from the life of prostitution and abuse. I met a good man who loves me and doesn’t care about my past. He proposed to me and I’m letting know about my happiness.

Mauricio Rincon thanks Saint Martin the Cavalryman with all his heart because he inherited his grad-father’s secret meat recipe which he could use in his small taqueria. It gave a great taste to his tacos, and the clients enjoyed it very much. He dedicates this retablo for such a miracle.

Mexico City

I had a very low self-esteem because I had no butt. My friends were laughing at me lacking curves and were giving me nicknames. I thank Saint Charbel because I managed to save enough money for my implants. Now I feel myself very attractive with my new butt, my friends are jealous of me and I have a lot of suitors.
