My daughter Carmela and her classmate went fishing to the laguna in a boat. But the boat sank and the girls went into the water. My daughter didn’t know how to swim and got really scared. She entrusted herself to the Virgin of the Rosary, and the other girls dragged her from the water before my girls drowned. Carmela thanks the Virgin.

I took my girlfriend Mariana for a boat ride on the lake on the moonlight. But suddenly the monster who lives in water appeared and tried to abduct my girl and take her to the bottom of the lake. I thank the Virgin who gave me enough strength to hit the monster with the oar and to push him off the boat. We managed to row to the coast before the monster recovered from the blow.

I went fishing but got lost in a storm. I was in the open sea. I was afraid that I’d die from thirst. But the Virgin of Guadalupe sent me two beautiful mermaids. They dragged my bot to the shore. I thank the Virgin for protection and saving me.

The fishermen Pascual and Cayetano Rios thank the Archangel Raphael because a beautiful mermaid with her magic singing made so the fish jumped in their boat without using the net.

One nice day, I took my boat and went fishing in open sea. Suddenly some mermaids appeared. These sexy damned creatures wanted to play with me. Or maybe I fell asleep from hunger and these were just my imagination. However, thanks to my prayers to the Virgin of Guadalupe, there were nobody around and everything was calm.

Bartolo and Jaime Aguirre give thanks to Saint Peter for an incredible fishing season. So now they are going to buy a new motorboat.

The fisherman Pablo Robledo was fishing when suddenly he got a giant squid in the net. The squid almost sunk the boat. Pablo thanks Saint Peter for he managed to cut the net in time.

We went fishing, and our boat started leaking. There were a lot of hungry sharks around the boat. We asked the Virgin of the Rosary for protection, and miraculously we arrived to the shore before our boat sank and we were eaten by the sharks. We thank for that.

My second husband and I thank Saint Brigit because we won the first prize in the lottery. With the money we bought a very big and beautiful boat on which we are sailing to Puerto Vallarta.

I thank the Virgin of Help, because after the cruise ship, on which I went to Cancun, took the ground and I had to spend few minutes in the water totally naked, I was saved by the boat “Esmeralda” handled by a handsome fisherman, who became my husband nine months later.

My husband went fishing, but his boat never turned back because of a dense fog. Three days later a giant octopus dragged the boat pushing it with the tentacles. My husband was alive, and I thank the Virgin of the Rosary for that.

Pablo Velez brings this retablo to Saint Peter in order to thank him for catching an enormous tuna with pretty basic fishing gear. With what they paid for the tuna, Pablo now has enough money to buy a new boat.

After few years of marriage my husband was taken by the sea. He left me alone with our little boy whom I had to feed. I didn’t know a lot about fishing, but I took the boat and the net and went to the sea. I asked St. Barbara for help, and she decided to help me. My net was filled with fish. So, without great effort, I managed to have a good yield. In that way I was able to collect enough money to open a fish shop at the town market.
