There was an epidemic in the village that infected the animals. With all my faith, I entrusted myself to the Virgin of Guadalupe so that she would save my animals. They were saved, didn’t got infected and stayed in good health. They are all I have, and I thank you. May you be blessed, Virgin.

I was washing the clothes in the river, when one of my shirt was taken by the current. I rushed to catch it, but the current was so strong, that I was carried down to the waterfall [...] I hit the rocks, but thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe I managed to get out the water [...] I thank the Virgin because now I’m getting better.

I give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe because I survived and bore our Standard of Zapatista Army at the Triumphal Parade to the National Palace in Mexico where my general, don Emiliano Zapata, and general Francisco Villa received a great ovation from the people. I proudly present this retablo that depicts that day, December 6, 1914. May the Virgin protect us who are fighting in the Revolution under her protection.

It took me several days to write the report for my boss. A strong wind blew all the pages away, and only thanks to the miracle of the Virgin of Guadalupe I managed to collect them.

Susana Ruiz was attacked by two skeletons at the cemetery. She entrusted herself to the Virgin of Guadalupe and now give thanks because she managed to get away from them, although one skeleton bit her arm.

The Ruiz brothers, Juan and Gustavo, worked as butchers and liked to flirt with the female clients. One day they liked the same girl and they fought with knives over her. They thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for they didn’t kill one another and promise to go in therapy.

Me and my husband have no kids and maybe because of that we love our pigs so much. When there was the plague that killed pigs in our region we couldn’t sleep. We were worried that our pigs were going to die. But thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe, who protected them, our pigs didn’t get ill. We thank for that.

Housemaid Felipa Garcia was drunk and her hands were shaking. Because of that she broke a marble statuette. She thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe with this retablo because her mistress neither hit her nor fired.

Thank you, Virgin, because Mexico qualified for the World Cup of 2002.

I thank you, Virgin of Guadalupe for my 90 years and for I managed to create such a beautiful family.

Maria Guadalupe and I loved each other, but her brother Poncho was against our relationships. Since he was a sorcerer, he came at nights as a furious nagual to separate us. Only thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe’s help and her blessing, we managed to run away and get married in another town.

Dolores and Claudia thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for the miracle that their parents accepted their relationship. Now they don’t have to hide and they’re happy.

A horrible devil possessed my sweet and beloved animals and set them against me. When I saw them coming to attack me I took out the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the shinning of her image scared the devil. My animals recovered their mind, and I give thanks for the miracle.
