Neboisha lost his tickets to the Montenegro—Russia game, and all his friends laughed at him. But there was a petard thrown at the goalkeeper, and the game was stopped, and the fans sat at the grandstand in vain for three hours. Neboisha’s wife thanks Holy Mary because he was instead sitting on the soft coach in front of the TV and even repaired the iron that he had been promising to repair for two years.

Help me, Saint Jude, to forgive my husband Gumersindo who was telling me he would treat me like a queen.

Cristobal Ramirez came home drunk and smelling of whores. His wife got pissed off and threw the working iron at him while he was in the bath. He thanks the Holy Child of Atocha for he survived and only stutters. And his wife is in jail.

Señora Mercedes was ironing clothes in the house of the Cataña family and was looking after Nicanor, the 10 months old baby. While he was playing he pushed the table, and the hot iron fell down. Realizing what a terrible accident could happen, Mercedes thanks Saint Jude Thaddeus for saving the baby from the iron. She ordered this retablo for escaping from this situation.
