I thank the Holy Child of Atocha from Fresnillo because my son Adolfo Jimenez Hernandez got released.

Agripina Hernandez, March 1958

I give infinite thanks to the Holy Child of Plateros for healing me after damned pain in my stomach. When I started to drink Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola the gas and the cocaine contained in these soft drinks caused a pain in my stomach. I felt myself more and more terrible and I asked the Holy Child of Plateros to heal me. Now I’m healthy again. I work in the bar in Salinas and drink only tequila.

In 1920 in the town of San Tito my buddy caught me on the mat with his wife. He started shooting at us. I give infinite thanks to the Holy Child of Atocha because bullets didn’t hit me. She took them all, and I jumped out the window.

August 1925, Pancho Lopez was practicing throwing a lasso near by Zacatlan, and he hurt his balls. Since no remedy helped him, he asked Holy Child of Atocha for help. It helped, Pancho got cured. He thanks for that with this retablo.

When my children and I were crossing the waterfall our mule fell off the cliff. We thank Holy Child of Atocha for it was caught by branches and the saint gave us enough strength to pull it up. I have no other explanation but miracle that I did it only with the help of my kids.

The young man Raul N. was caught stealing condoms at a pharmacy. He thanks the Holy Child of Atocha with the present retablo because the policeman let him go when saw that he was with his girlfriend.

Holy Child of Atocha, I thank you for helping me that moment when I was so close to death. After my adversary jumped upon me and kicked me in the chest, I had a heart attack. Holy Child, I thank you for I survived.

Holy Child of Atocha, I thank you for all your favors. It happened so I went to gather some food for a sick cow a day before I had to give birth. I gathered a very heavy basket, that’s why my contractions began while I was doing my laundry. Thanks goodness, my friend Ramona was near and she helped me. I was very sick, but the worst part was that a baby died. I thank the Holy Child for consoling me.

My husband Juan began walking at his sleep. I couldn’t sleep because I went after him and looked so that the dogs wouldn’t bite him because they growled and barked at him. My husband kept walking and even got to the railroad. I was scared that he might be hit by a train. I thank the Holy Child of Atocha because thanks to his miracle my husband doesn’t go outside anymore and walks around the bedroom.

Holy Child of Atocha, I thank you for your favors. I was sleeping when suddenly felt something hit me. I tried to stand up but I couldn’t. The I was hit in the head and I lost conscience. Turned out it was a crane working those days, and it stroke my wall making it collapsed on me.
