My son Ramon is a good swimmer. One day we swam underwater and he got entangled in the seaweed. I thank Saint Barbara because she made me look back so I saw him entangled. I managed to save him in time so we didn’t drown. I offer this retablo thanking for the miracle.

I went to show my newborn son to my grandmother Josefina. I stayed there till late at night. On my back back I met a giant nagual, who offered me gold and many other beautiful things in exchange for going with him and letting him to bring up my baby. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for giving me strength to resist this temptation and to run away from the nagual.

Because of financial problems, we had to move to the outskirts of the town to live with aunt Cleotilda. My girls were scared because on their way to school they had to go through the old, abandoned cemetery. There were a lot of horrific stories about the cemetery. They were so frightened, they refused to go to the school. But thanks to the Virgin of the Rosary my husband found a good job, so we can moved back to the town. We thank for that.

The godfather of the Salinas’ kids gave to their parents a big and beautiful turkey for the holidays. But the kids loved it so much, and the turkey turned to be very obedient and nice, that the parents, instead of eating it, decided to keep the turkey as a pet. The kids thank Saint Francis for this beautiful present.

My little girl Sofia was blown away from my hands and carried for ten meters by a strong wind. But thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan my older daughter was able to catch her before she fell on the ground or hit a tree.

My wife Juana had fits of fury quite often. She crushed everything in the house. I was scared that my kids also would have similar disorders, so I prayed for help to the Virgin of Zapopan. Thanks to her miracle my wife calmed down and she hasn’t been having outbursts for a long time. I dedicate the retablo for that.

I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because after many years, when we couldn’t have children, she blessed us with the most beautiful baby we have ever seen. The baby is strong and healthy, and we are the happiest parents in the world.

My sons went to the movie to watch a movie with monsters and mummy without asking my permission. After the movie they were so scared, that when they were going through a dark alley they imagined that there was a mummy growling at them. But my Samuel took out his medallion of the Virgin of Zapopan, and the mummy got scared. So the kids ran away, and this monster didn’t follow them. I thank the Virgin for protecting my sons.

A nagual kidnapped my little son right from the cradle. But thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe the nagual didn’t carry him further than the cornfield. I came running and saw my baby who was sitting and playing with leaves. Also I saw the shadow of the nagual running away.

Señora Rafaela was coming back from the market with her granddaughter when the big angry dog of Aurelio Medina attacked them. The dog had escaped, and it had already sent several persons to the hospital with its bites. Rafaela asked the Virgin of Zapopan for protection for her and her granddaughter. And miraculously the dog calmed down and didn’t hurt them.
