I thank the Lord of Villaseca for I found my son Ramon after the mine had been collapsed. I also thank because he recovered quickly after that accident.

Anselmo Gutierrez worked in the mine and found a gold nugget. His boss gave it to him, and with it Anselmo payed for his son’s knee surgery. He thanks the Virgin of San Juan for this huge favor and offers this retablo.

The brothers Leopoldo and Agustin Suarez offer this retablo to the Virgin of San Juan thanking her, because they were rescued from the collapsed town mine, when they didn’t expect to be saved.

Virgin of San Juan, thank you for protecting us when the mine collapsed. We pay you with this exvoto.
