The Garcia brothers, Silvestre and Valentin, thank the Virgin of Guadalupe, from the bottom of their hearts, for a gift to perform charreria. They’re very proud of making this mostly Mexican sport famous all over the world.

Tlaquepaque, Jalisco

After my husband’s death, my children and I had financial problems. I was desperate and didn’t know what to do. But the Virgin of Guadalupe sent us different animals which we found one morning near our house. There were some chickens and a cow—they didn’t belong to anybody. I started to sell eggs and milk, and it helped us to survive until I found a good job. I thank the Holy Virgin for those animals that literally fell from heaven.

A devil used to come to my dreams every night and tortured me. I prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe, and she sent me an angel who drove the devil away.

Maria thank the Virgin because her labor went well.

My daughter was sick. I brought her at the yard so she would take some sun, and then I left to the kitchen. Later, I saw some stray dogs came to her. These hungry dogs had beaten a lot of people in the village. I was paralyzed with fear when I saw them around my daughter. I couldn’t move. But my girl wasn’t scared, she even gave them some bread. The dogs ate it and ran away. Thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for this miracle.

When we became orphans, I was an oldest child. So I started working, while my little brothers and sisters were studying. After many years of hardworking, I opened my own business. It turned out to be very prominent and successful. Now my brothers and sisters have started working, and I can afford to enjoy a careless and luxurious life. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for that.

You saved me from that giant octopus which attacked me at the open sea.

Jose, 1971
