Felipa Rodriguez offers this retablo to Saint Paschal Baylon thanking him because he helped her to learn how to cook very tasty dishes so she could win her husband’s heart.

Puebla, 1920

My husband took dance lessons for the 15th birthday party of our daughter Rosita. He danced very badly and was scared of making fool of himself. He even became sleep-walker. He waked up and danced humming some waltz tunes. I thank Our Lady of Zapopan because after the party, when he realized that he can dance, he stopped his sleep-walking.

Ciriaco Hernandez gives thanks to Soul in Purgatory because I’ve married to Suleima despite her saying that I was very skinny and couldn’t handle her. But I have tremendous sex with her and even tell her to get on top because I don’t feel any weight.
