We were going to town to sell fruits when we were attacked by some bandits. But thanks to the Holy Spirit they saw that we had only fruits and no money, so they let us go without doing any harm to us.

Aucencio Martinez thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe because he gave all his harvest to redeem his land from Don Miguel, the one from cantina, to whom he had pawned it. He promises not to drink again. I’m asking for mine and my son Jose’s health. I offer this retablo to you.
