My daughter and I went to the night performance in the circus. When we came out we saw the cages with the animals. And there we met a lion who had escaped. Thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe the lion only roared, sniffed at us and then went away. I’m sure he didn’t like my perfume and it didn’t whet his appetite. We thank the Virgin with this retablo for saved us from being lion’s dinner.

I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because my lions obey me without any problem. Thanks to that I have a success performing in circuses all around the country.
