The Carrion sisters were passing by the market when suddenly they an enormous creature appeared to them. It seems like it came from the inferno, with a red hair, big claws and teeth, enormous blue eyes filled with evil and fury. When we started to ran away and scream we implored the Brown-skin girl of Tepeyac to protect us and let us come out alive from this misfortune. That moment the beast stopped chasing us, we ran to the church doors and took shelter there. They say they call this demon chupacabra in the region.

San Ignacio de los Valles, 1990

Virgin of Guadalupe, thank you for delivering me from the love pain that left me bedridden.

Thanks Virgin of Guadalupe because it’s been 20 years since I became a cliff diver in Acapulco and I keep following my true passion.

Rosaura Morales pays with this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe because when I converted into mermaid I didn’t hurt my family, and I pay for that with this.

Michoacan, 1917

I offer this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe because my Pedro returned to me. He had dumped me for a woman, but I asked you very much for the miracle, and now we are together and very happy.

Pedro & Julian, February 14, 1976

When I was sick with jaundice I used to have terrible nightmares in which I was going to the cemetery, and there skeletons raped me, and those bastards even took turns.

Antonio and his brother Carlos give thanks to the Virgin of Gudalupe for saving them from dying by being smashed by a whale that jumped out of the water near their boat when they were collecting their daily catch. They thank for that.

Los Cabos, Baja California, 1990

Holy Virgin of Guadalupe, I ask you to look after my husband Ramiro, a fisherman. Save him from the apparition of the mermaid who enchants the fishermen.

In the evening I go to a tree and rub my member against it. Forgive me, Virgin.

Virgin of Guadalupe, we ask you to be always together and happy like on the day of the wedding.

Adrian & Michelle

On my tenth pregnancy, when I brought Luisita to the world, I went mad. One day I left the house and started wandering. I walked at the streets, they called me the Cat Lady, and I lived on the benches in the Alameda park. But one day Ruperto found me, and when I saw my baby I recovered. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe.
