Rogelio Narvaez worked at a musical instruments store. He thanks Saint Martin the Cavalryman for he sold three grand pianos in one day and got a very nice commission for it.

I thank Christ of the Victory because my guitar is my best friend and I play it unceasingly at night.

When my husband went to work at the north, I felt very lonely and started to play guitar outside at night. Little by little my music attracted all the cats from our neighborhood. They came to listen me, and they were captivated by my music. My music affected not only the cats. Out of nowhere every time came the little boy and started to play his flute. And when he finished he went away without saying anything. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan for this big company I have now.

All the fellows from my band died in an accident. Then their skeletons began to visit me and play instruments in my room because they were jealous that I am alive. I prayed for their souls to the Virgin of Guadalupe and she made them rest in peace. So I finally can sleep also in peace.

Some thieves stole my bags at the San Pedro station while I was helping a lady with a boy off the train. Thanks to the Virgin of San Juan the thieves dropped my contrabass and I got it back because it’s my working tool.

I thank the Virgin of San Juan because all my daughters inherited my ear for music, the passion and the ability to learn to play various instruments with ease.

I’m happy playing my instrument. And I’m happier when I notice that my music attracts the wild forest animals. I thank the Virgin of the Rosary for giving me this wonderful talent.

The girl Rosita Fernandez thought it would be fun to blow the trumpet next to her sleeping dad. However, it caused him a heart attack and he was taken to the hospital. Rosita thanks for her father didn’t die and promises to not make such jokes again.

The music is a very important part of our family’s life and is with us every day. We love playing instruments near our birds because they begin to sing. It produces a very beautiful sound. I thank Saint Francis because my kids have inherited my musical talent.

Pedro Contreras was helping to unload a grand piano and hurt his hands very badly. He thanks Saint Pancras with this retablo for they got healed.

We were on the beach when suddenly a giant octopus came out the sea and was about to grab Mariana with its tentacles. But thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe the music, that I played on the guitar, distracted the octopus and calmed it down. It listened while we slowly moved away with me keeping playing the octopus’ favorite melody.

My husband, who is a musician, bought violins to our daughters. But since he was always on tour, he didn’t know that they hadn’t inherited his pitch and that they played horribly. For me it was a nightmare. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because some of my husband’s concerts were canceled and he came home. When he heard this infernal music, he took away the violins from the girls. And I finally got some peace.
