J.M. and A.H. got very passionate in a bus, and she got so excited she soaked everything. She gives infinite thanks to Saint Charbel, with this retablo, for being able to overcome this embarrassment and promises not to be so crazy.

We thank you, Virgin of Juquila, for saving us and the bus from falling down the cliff.

In 1925, a terrible accident happened when the bus, which young Frida Kahlo was traveling in, crashed into a tram. I was present at the moment. I thank Our Holy Mother of Guadalupe because the young girls survived and became a great painter.

Juana Cruz, Mexico City

We went to the town to baptize our boy. The bus broke down and we had to ride horses. On our way back a viper scared my horse, it reared up, and my baby flew up in the air. But thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan he fell right into the arms of my husband who rode behind me. Nothing happened to the baby, he didn’t even got scared because he thought we were just playing. I give infinite thanks for this miracle.

James Eddy gives infinite thanks to God for giving him a second chance at life after he went under.

My colleague from the route and I were racing against each other. We were going under a red light and almost hit some people crossing the street. I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus for we managed to come to our senses in time and understood that we have to drive carefully to not cause an accident and hurt innocent people with our foolery.

Thank you, Virgin of Guadalupe, for the miracle that I arrived well to the Mexico City, along with the passengers who did confide in me. The bus lost its brakes as we approached Zihuatanejo and it went like it was driven by the devil. In such danger, I entrusted myself to you, promising this exvoto which I bring now.

Rafael Aguilar thought it’d be easy to rob passengers in a bus but they disarmed him and were going to lynch him. He thanks Saint Jude because the police arrived in time and saved him.

Rosa Jimenes fell in love with a microbus driver. With this retablo, she thanks Saint Pancras for she finally made love with him in his unit.

I thank the Virgin of Perpetual Help for having saved my son from dying when a truck hit the bus in which he traveled.

The boy Alberto Ramirez was playing under the bus, and when it started to move it almost smashed the boy. Alberto thanks Saint Nicholas with this retablo for protecting him and promises not to be so silly.

I bring the present retablo to Saint Jude Thaddeus for the miracle that I managed to buy a little car for myself, although I have to pay by installments. But it was a real martyrdom to run after the minibuses every day. And the worst part was that they were always crowded and I had to put up with smelly armpits and body sweats as well as elbowing and stomping.
