Enrique Suarez became addicted to Coca-cola and for that reason he ended up in the hospital very sick. He thanks Saint Francis with this retablo for he got better. He promises not to drink soda again.

My baby was very sick. He had a high fever, and I prayed to the Virgin almost all night long until I fell asleep. With the first dawn in the morning I heard a soft flapping, and I saw a lot of butterflies flying around. I noticed that my baby had no fever and was smiling. I give thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan for healing my baby and for this beautiful sight.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint Isidore the Labourer. In spite of staying in the hospital with horrible pains in my liver a cause of cirrhosis, I’ve met a very pretty nurse, although she has the small head. She gives me cigars and lends me her electric shaver.

There was an epidemic in the village that infected the animals. With all my faith, I entrusted myself to the Virgin of Guadalupe so that she would save my animals. They were saved, didn’t got infected and stayed in good health. They are all I have, and I thank you. May you be blessed, Virgin.

Me and my husband have no kids and maybe because of that we love our pigs so much. When there was the plague that killed pigs in our region we couldn’t sleep. We were worried that our pigs were going to die. But thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe, who protected them, our pigs didn’t get ill. We thank for that.

I loved very much my grandmother Lupita who was like mother to me. On April 7,1966 she suddenly started to feel pain in the chest. I was repeating the saint name of the Virgin of Guadalupe so that my grandmother wouldn’t die from heart attack like doña Camelia (?). And the Virgin worked the miracle. The pain was gone, and now my grandmother feels much better.
