Mexico City, 1973

Since my daughter was left by her boyfriend who went to a hairdresser, she really lost her mind. I felt pity for her seeing her all disheveled—because of the hairdresser she hated the combs. But thanks to my prayers to the Virgin of Zapopan my daughter began to come to her mind. Now she is alright.

The Alicia’s puppy fell off the cliff but hold on a small ledge. Alicia tried to save him but instead she also slid down on her belly and couldn’t get out. Thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan the neighbor saw them and pull Alicia up by her leg. The girl and the puppy were saved. They thank for that.

That night, I was thirsty, and I went down at the kitchen to take a glass of water. I was in fear finding some martians there. They were sitting at table and eating. My dog, which always had been a good guard, was hypnotized or paralyzed. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the aliens didn’t notice me and I could escape safe and sound. I hid myself until they were gone.

When Elisa and I were engaged, she was so jealous that on the day of the wedding, after the banquet, she was on edge and she died of indigestion. Three years later I decided to marry again. I met a nice beautiful girl, and we got married. After our honeymoon, when we were back, my first wife Elisa’s ghost began to appear in our bedroom. She was furious and stared at us with anger. I was frightened, I prayed the Virgin of Zapopan. Moreover, I took some holy water form the priest and sprinkled it over the house. It, probably, helped, and the Elisa’s soul rested in peace. I thank because now we can sleep at ease, without her accusatory glance.

My daughter became fat and she was told about a green diet. She ate only celery, cabbage, cucumbers, chards, spinach and other verdure. She went to the garden, sat under the tree and ate. Some time later she got thinner, but her skin was becoming greener. Even her hair got greenish. I thank the Virgin for my daughter changed her diet for a normal one, and her natural color came back. It looks so much nicer than green.

Ana Maria Gonzalez was terrified to find out that she had a sin — gambling. One Thursday, as usual, she was spending time with her friends playing cards. She lost everything and staked her husband’s house. Ana Maria thanked the Virgin of Zapopan for she won that game. She promised not to play again, and as if she would have such a temptation she would go to bake. Now, Ana Maria opened the pastry-shop and it brings her a good income.

I always though that my husband was a real «macho». So even more was my shock when one day I caught him in my dress and in make-up. But the Virgin of Zapopan suggested not to say anything to him, not to discuss it and just to be like nothing happened. I thank the Virgin because our marriage is still solid, although my hubby secretly continues to dress up.

My son brought me to live with him in the city. I felt very disturbed over there, and I asked the Virgin to help me to feel at ease [...]

I thought my husband snored a lot. I couldn’t stand this noise. But one day when my husband was away I heard the same snore. I looked under my bed in fear and found out it was a house demon who slept calmly and snored with all his might. I sprinkled some holy water under the bed, and the devil ran away frightened. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the devil didn’t come back. My husband is also grateful to the Virgin because he thought that it was me who snored.

I bought my son Manuel rain boots. He was so happy, he walked through the puddles. But one puddle turned out to be a deep pit, and he fell in it. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for other children who were on their way to the school saw what happened and helped Manuel to get out. Otherwise, he would have drowned. I offer this retablo in gratitude.

The Ana Maria Renteria’s husband was a very jealous man. He kept being jealous even in their old age. That bothered Ana Maria a lot. But the worst part was that he wouldn’t stop even after his death. He kept appearing and watching her. Ana Maria was scared and prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan for the miracle of calming down her husband. Then the ghost stopped appearing, and she thanks the Virgin for that.
