I offer this retablo to the Holy Child of Atocha because my leg has been healed. I got it crushed by a wheel of the canon I was in charge of by the order of the general Felipe Angeles. It happened on the Grillo mountain when we were taking Zacatecas on the evening of July 23, 1914. The city was taken by my general Francisco Villa, and I prayed that my leg wouldn’t have get gangrene. Now I offer this retablo to tell about your favor.

It happened with the boy Toño, who flied his kite, when the cliff collapsed and the rocks rolled down crashing his legs. He was buried under stones. After being told what happened his mother ran to him. When she saw the boy, she entrusted him to the Holy Child of Atocha. She offered this retablo because he was saved. But he couldn’t walk. So she, without losing her faith, entrusted him again. And now Toño is healed and he can walk. Full of joy the mother offers this retablo thanking the Holy Child.

The man whom I fell in love with deceived me and made me sell my body on the street. I give thanks to the Holy Child because my parents forgave me and now I’m going back to Zacatecas which I would have never left.

I dedicate this retablo to the Miraculous Virgin because she had blessed me with an amazing similarity to the very famous Italian-American singer Frank Sinatra. Thanks to that I’m always in demand for celebrations, weddings and christening parties in the whole state of Zacatecas.

In Zacatecas Juventino Garcia was attacked by a bear. He entrusted himself to Saint James and with the saint’s help saved his skin. In gratitude for this great miracle he dedicate this retablo.
