Carmen Gutierrez was always fighting with one boy in the school. But little by little their fights turned into love, and they’re a couple. She thanks Saint Anthony for this favor.

The young couple, Artemio and Dominga, used to have sex on the roof. But one day she got pregnant and everybody noticed it. They thank Saint Anthony because they were understood and permitted to get married.

I was being told by my friends that I’d be an old maid forever because I’m so fat. It saddened me, so I prayed to Saint Antony for a lover who’d love me for who I am. He fulfilled my wish, and now my Pepe makes me happy. He asked me for marriage with a serenade, and I thank for that.

I dedicate this photo to Saint Anthony of Padua as a gratitude for the miracle he worked for me when Maria Lupita finally gave me a proper kiss.

I give thanks to Saint Anthony who always protected me so I could continue to do this job. It helps me to support my kids so they will have a good education and will become worthy people.

I thank God and San Anthony of Padua for sending me a fiancé. I thought I would stay an old maid forever. And when I expected nothing to happen I heard a serenade. It was Pedro Lopez, a boyfriend that I had before and who came back from USA. We got married and now we are very happy.

Dolores Mejia gives thanks to Saint Anthony because her fiancé Romualdo Muñoz finally proposed to her, after 12 years of engagement. On May 19 of the current year they got married at the Santa Rosa Chapel.

My daughter Maria was in marriage age. She was very pretty but she was an awful cook. I prayed to Saint Anthony so that he make her a better cook. Otherwise she would never get a proposal. Saint worked the miracle, and my daughter began to cook better. And with a recipe book that I bought her she even prepared very tasty dishes.

My fiancé and I give thanks to the Holy Sacrament because we got married and we are so enamored of each other. On the day of the wedding, we were so happy, that when we came out the church we started running and laughing, because the musicians we had hired followed us but they couldn’t play a tune and were making a lot of gestures.

Pedro Telles enjoyed spying on his mistress when she was taking a bath naked in the river. One day she noticed him, but instead of firing Pedro, they became lovers. Pedro thanks Saint Anthony for that.

Alicia Guzman thanks Saint Anthony with this retablo, because she netted a rich old man, who is going to marry her, so she could help her family.

I thank Saint Anthony of Padua with this humble retablo because my Maclovio came back to the ranch. He had gone very far away to work, and everybody was telling me that he’d never come back. I’m glad he kept his word, so now we’re going to get married.
