My daughter Luisa was playing in laundry at the river bank. She slipped on a smooth stone and fell into water. Thanks to Our Lady of the Rosary our dog which is very smart and swims very well was able to save the girl before she drowned. I give thanks to the Holy Virgin.

April 16, 1974, my father and I were at the Arena Coliseo watching a wrestling match with El Santo, my greatest idol. I had suffered an accident which left me paralyzed. At the end of the event, Santo came down where we were and gave me one of his masks. Eventually, I began to walk again.

My friend and I went on our bikes 15 km from our village to eat mulberries. When I picked the berries I was so delighted I lost my awareness and didn’t notice a pit. The pit was deep, and I fell into it on my belly and my spine arched. Thanks to the Guardian Angel I didn’t break in two pieces and didn’t ride home with my knees backwards.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for curing my father Jose. We were playing soccer and he fell hitting his head and lain like dead. Seeing this tragedy I prayed for his life. Now he’s fine and we bring this retablo together for such luck.

I was training for a bicycle competition in my beautiful Cozumel when a damned stone—which I couldn’t avoid—made me lose the control of the bike… the handlebar flew off at the same time. Frightened to fall to the ravine, I entrusted myself to the Holy Heart, and, in its infinite goodness, it saved me from dying.

Virgin of San Juan, I offer you this exvoto for protecting me from dying when I was trying my luck and fell off the camel. I’m grateful for that.

We dedicate this retablo to the miraculous Holy Cross. We were very happy riding the carousel when my little Robertito fell off the horse and got stuck under the wheel. It was a miracle he didn’t became crippled. We bring this testimony of divine intervention for this.

I bought a piñata for my son Beto’s birthday because he wanted it so much. I put a blindfold on his eyes and, as a joke, turned him around many times to make him dizzy. But he ended up confusing me with the piñata and began to beat me with a stick. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because his grandmother could stop him before he smashed me.

I thank the Christ of the Mountain because my buddy has recovered from his fall.

Sebastian Gomes gulped too many pulque and fell down. Since he didn’t put his arms in front of him, he smashed his mug into the floor and cut it with the broken glass shattered there. He thank Saint Judas for his face has been healed up with no marks left.
