Panfilo Romero was going to rob an old lady. But he didn’t know that she had two big and angry dogs living with her. They attacked him. Panfilo thanks the Virgin of San Juan because he managed to escape alive from the dogs.

My cat and I became old and withered. We didn’t do anything. I was knitting needless scarves, and my cat was sleeping on the cushion. But one day I took three stray kittens. At first, my cat was unfriendly towards them, but step by step these little creatures brought joy to our lives. Now my old cat even plays with the kittens, and I’m enjoying watching them run, jump and play with each other. I thank Saint Francis for these kittens.

Ramon Garcia was hunting for deers and was attacked by a wolf. Ramon thanks Saint Jude with this retablo because he managed to chase the wolf away although it hurt him a little.

A white tiger escaped from the Gustavo Villanueva’s circus. Gustavo prayed to the Lord of the Wonders and found the tiger before it caused harm to somebody. He thanks with this retablo.

I give thanks to Saint Pancras with this retablo because I finally managed to catch the two rats that lived in my basement. They were the size of a cat.

I thank the Virgin because thanks to my job I can provide for all my dogs that I picked up on the street. They love me very much and keep me company.

My husband liked to eat in bed while watching TV. It bothered me because he left crumbs and left-overs on the sheets. One warm night we left the window opened and a lot of squirrels came to our room. They started to eat the left-overs. I was nervous and began to scream like crazy. My husband chase the squirrels away and closed the window. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because after that my husband stopped eating in bed. And now is very comfortable to sleep without crumbs.

After the hurricane my sons and I found a lot of wounded animals around our house. We cured them, gave them food and some of them stayed with us. I think they told to other animals about us because many others animals began to come to our house for healing or for some water from the well. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the animals thank us working for us or giving milk and eggs or simply showing their love and keeping us company.

Juan Jose Carrasco was gathering wood when he was stung by two scorpions. His condition was really bad so he prayed for help to Saint Nicholas. He got cured and now he is thanking with this retablo.

The Holy Child of Atocha saved me and my horse from a lighting that struck in a tree near us. We got singed a little but nothing serious happened to us.

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.

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.
