Eugenia Gutierrez went to a fortune-teller who told her she was going to die soon. She didn’t leave her house for a year out of fear. With this retablo, she thanks Saint Ignatius because it didn’t come true, and she promises to not visit such places anymore.

I dedicate this retablo to the Virgin of Guadalupe. In San Jesus Choluapan, I dedicated myself to deceiving the people fishing their money out. I was a fortune-teller and I did the evil work. But most things I said were lies. One day don Teofilo tried to kill me because my prediction didn’t work out. But I prayed to the Virgin and got saved.

Leonorilda Perez went to a fortune-teller, and she told her that a man would give her an unforgettable surprise. It turned out to be gonorrhea, and only the Virgin of Guadalupe was able to cure her. Leonorilda thanks for this favor.
