Juan Antonio Ruiz Callo played with my husband’s pistol and deadly wounded himself. I was going to warn him and saw him shot. I implored to Saint Juadas Thaddeus for his life. The bullet went very close to the heart, and he survived. I offer this retablo for the miracle.

Virgin of San Juan, thank you for all your favors. We went to celebrate the Town Day. We visited the church, and after we decided to have some snacks. My little girl carelessly ran to see the firework bull, and one of the petard hit her in the face. Her cheek was badly injured and cut. I took my girl to bandage her face. I was scared that she’d going to die. But thanks to Saint Jude {?) everything ended well.

Joaquin R. thanks Saint Jude with tis retablo for being able to buy a Harley Davidson motorcycle. And now all his friends are jealous.

Thank you, Saint Jude, for the incredible vacations in Zipolite that hot summer in 1986 when I met Vero[nica].

Saint Jude Thaddeus, thank you for your favors.

At one party, I met a Victor. I fell in love with him, and three months later he asked me to move in his place and live together. After that the nightmare started. He was very jealous and drank a lot. One time I met my friend form the childhood and said hello. And Victor went mad. He was furious, and when we arrived at home he beat me with a plank and chained me up. Next day, when he went at work, I tried to get free from the chain. I grabbed my personal things in a hurry and ran to my parents. We don’t want to report on him because we’re frightened he could harm us.

November 2, on the Day of the Dead, the ghost of my buddy appeared to me protesting because I had approached to his wife. I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus for protection and promise to behave good.

Raul Gonzalez offers this retablo to Saint Jude Thaddeus thanking him because he was saved when he was playing in racing and his car turned over. He promises to try to mend his ways.

Fortino Ramos loved to go out with loose women until he caught an infection which wouldn’t go away. He entrusted himself to Saint Jude promising to offer a retablo for cure. And now, as he has been cured, he presents it.

I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus for my beautiful wife. I met her while wrestling. She always sat in the fist row and she was always very excited. Her support made me fight super good, and I always won. Afterwards I invited her to meet me, and then we got married.

Gustavo Ortega was roller-skating. He fell and broke his arm. Since no remedy helped him, he prayed to Saint Jude Thaddeus. With his help the arm got healed, and Gustavo thanks for that with this retablo.

Thank you, Saint Jude, because I’m not a snotty-nosed kid anymore and I’ve become an adult.

Saint Jude Thaddeus, thank you for your help. One day my husband came home in bad mood because a sheep fell of the cliff. My husband was drunk. He went on the kitchen and tried the chilaquiles I made. He got furious, he threw the pan saying that the food wasn’t spicy enough. I asked him not to get mad. But he grabbed my hair and kick me in the face. He broke my jaw. So I had it, and I kicked him out the house.
