We are very happy together and thank the Virgin for having united us.

Hector Alberto and Felipe Pineda pay with this retablo giving thanks to the Souls of the Purgatory because we are so faggot and happy and quite crazy. Viva el Amor!

Victor C. and Cristina M. wanted each other very much, but they didn’t have money for the hotel so they made love in the pigeonry. They infinitely thank Saint Francis for nobody noticed them, although it wasn’t very pleasant because of too much pigeon poo.

We thank Saint Sebastian for we met and live happily as a couple, and were able to make our relationship official to the society without hiding from it, because we love each other as we are and who cares what we do.

I hate Christmas, so that afternoon I decided to go for a walk instead of the typical dinner. In the park, I met David who also hates Christmas, and since then we have been together thanks to Jesus.

Lupita Martinez was a very pretty girl, and she had two suitors who were fighting for her love. On July 3, 1948, they got in a fight with machetes. She didn’t want to be responsible for a tragedy and asked Saint Michael the Archangel for help. He made it hail so heavy that the guys cooled down and stopped fighting.

I secretly meet with Juan in an alley. Look after us, Virgin.

I thank Saint Paschal Baylon with this retablo for having met my Maria. I love Mexican food, and she is an excellent cook. I used to travel a lot to Mexico for my work, then we met and got married and I stayed here. I’m very happy because she cooks for me, with great love, mole, quesadillas, chalupas, tacos and many other delicious dishes.

Virgin of Guadalupe, thank you for delivering me from the love pain that left me bedridden.

Help me with Zuzi who not only doesn’t pay me attention but says that I’m a weirdo.
