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.
