From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank Saint Ochoa. When my fiancé tried to escape from the church after we had paid for the wedding and also leaving me pregnant, He heard my prayers and stopped the bastard right before the exit from the church. I thank for the miracle.

The Dioz Duran sisters were coming back from the mess and decided to cut off the path. They went in the dark alley behind the church. They saw two devils there. The devils were siting on garbage cans and were smoking. When the devils saw the sisters, they started to chase them. The sisters were scared that the devils wanted to dishonor them. So they entrusted themselves to the Virgin of Zapopan. When the sisters ran out to a lighted place, the devils stopped follow them and disappeared.

I dedicate this retablo to the Holy Child of Atocha. I was practically hopeless because of my addiction to all kinds of drugs and alcohol. But I found a good job in the church of the parish priest don Ernesto, who gives me shelter, clean clothes and good food.

On the Day of the Dead, Cleotilde and I went to the mass. We met skeletons who had got out to celebrate. We ran to the church and prayed some rosaries for the souls of the skeletons. We thank the Virgin of San Juan because when we left the church, the skeletons had already turned back to their graves.

The day Roberto and I were going to get married he suddenly felt scared and decided to run away. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan that I noticed it in time and caught him. I drag him back to the church where we got happily married. With so many people he just couldn’t run away again.

I almost made the biggest mistake of my life when I was going to marry Maria Luisa. But there was Manuel standing outside the church. When I looked in his eyes I couldn’t resist and we ran away leaving my fiancée and her parents. They had a nervous breakdown. I thank the Virgin of San Juan because I didn’t ruin three lives. Now I’m happy with my fiancé and Maria Luisa already has a new suitor.

My parents forced me to get married with a man I didn’t love only because he was a rich landowner. But it happened that exactly on the day of the wedding Jose Garcia, the man who I always loved, came back to town. He abducted me at the church door. I give thanks to the Blessed Sacrament because now we are going to be happy together.

The Reyes brother hated me because of the quarrel about borders of our lands. One day they made an ambush to kill me when I would ride my horse near by. But the Virgin of Zapopan always protected me and that day she gave wings to my horse. The horse galloped faster than ever before. I arrived to the village and hid in the church. So I saved my life.

During the earthquake on August 5, the church was cracked. But by an extraordinary miracle of the Virgin two halves of it turned back in one piece and the church became intact again. All the inhabitants of the town give thanks for witnessing this miracle.

The day when we married, we were so happy that when we came out of the church, we took our hands and we just ran away leaving all the people behind. There were just the two of us loving each other so much. We thank to the Virgin of Zapopan for our great love and happiness that even birds came to the church singing for us.
