Lord of Blue Eye

Señor de Ojo Zarco

Anselmo Barrientos was resting after the work in the field. He was drinking pulque when the bony Death appeared. Anselmo wasn’t a young man, but still he had no desire to die yet. He prayed the Lord of Blue Eye. The Lord scared the Death away, and it left Anselmo in peace.

I put a ladder to fix a hole in the wall. The ladder tilted and pushed some pots. My children were down, right under them. I implored the Lord of Blue Eye, and miraculously the pots fell a few inches from the kids and didn’t hurt them. I thank for that miracle.

Isidro Martinez and his fiancée were lying under a tree and were talking about their coming wedding when suddenly the lightning struck the tree. Miraculously the lightning didn’t hurt them. They only had their hair slightly burned. They thank the Lord of Blue Eye for the protection.
