Saint Patrick

San Patricio

Because Bernardo Pacheco, a turner, came to work being hungover, he stumbled and hit his snout against the machine. The bleeding wouldn’t stop, so he implored Saint Patrick and got healed. He gives infinite thanks for that.

Francisco N. thanks Saint Patrick with this humble exvoto because his fetish for high-heeled shoes hasn’t been discovered by his family nor by his friends. He is a man esteemed in the society, and it would sadden him, if his secret was known. Also, he thanks for his big shoes collection that he has amassed in the last years.

I dedicate this exvoto to Saint Patrick for the anime show “My Hero Academia”. Its colorful and positive characters are the entertaining models for kids and adults in all senses.

I thank Saint Patrick with this exvoto for having united two exceptional talents—Stanley Kubrick and Stephen King, and creating, as the result, this great iconic movie “The Shining” which is my favorite.

When I came to the city to study in the university I didn’t have enough money to pay rent by myself alone. I found out that one girl, my fellow student, was looking for a girl neighbor to share an apartment with. Then I got an idea to tell her that I’m a gay so she would accept me. I give thanks to Saint Patrick because she didn’t find out that I’m a heterosexual so I could enjoy looking at her almost naked for she is very beautiful.

I thank Saint Patrick for being so lucky to get sick with diarrhea so I couldn’t go to work in the government quarter.

I dedicate this exvoto to the adorable and talented Cassandra Peterson. Her beloved character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is the best example of a strong, funny, sexy and intelligent woman.

I dedicate this present exvoto with eternal gratitude to Saint Patrick for getting the scholarship from Inter American University of the State of Nuevo Leon so I could play the sport I’ve been so much passionate since childhood—American football.

I dedicate this exvoto to Saint Patrick for the excellent tv-series “Breaking Bad”. This Vince Gilligan’s creation is a drama filled with emotions. It got me from the first episode, and it rightly became one of the best tv-series in the television history.

I used to wok as a taxi driver at the Los Angeles airport, California. One day I was waiting for a passenger and saw, with excitement, Elvis Presley arriving in his limousine. When he got out his car I saw his wallet falling off and he didn’t notice. I went to pick it up and gave it back. I thank Saint Patrick because, for this good deed, my rock idol gave me a photo with his autograph which I still keep.
