Sr. Damian gives infinite thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe because his piggy was able to keep her piglets well while there was a severe epidemic outbreak in the village killing all the animals. For this favor he brings this ex-voto.

I caught Ramiro at an orgy with the pigs. Forgive him and cure him Virgin.

Thanks for the virus didn’t do anything to us. The piglets chased it away.

April 30, 1935, a tragedy happened with the boy Pedrito. He went to feed the pigs, and one of them bit his arm. In danger of losing his arm, the boy implored the Virgin of Carmel. She had mercy on him and granted him healing. I testify about her miracle in gratitude.

Panfilo Guzman brings this retablo to the Souls of the Purgatory because no one has seen how I like dancing with my pig Ququis.

Zacatecas, 1947

We are afraid of nothing. The Virgin looks after us.

The pig Luis is making sculptures. Take care of him, Saint John.

My pig was abducted by extraterrestrials. They kept it for three days. Thanks for it came back safely.

I took my piglets to the river to wash them because they stunk very much. Suddenly a strong current came from the mountain and took us down the river to the waterfall. I thank Saint Francis who protected us so we didn’t get hurt falling on the rocks nor drowned. We managed to get out to the bank safe and sound.

I saved my piglet with your help, Holy Heart.

The animals from our farm went sad and lost their appetite. We didn’t know what happened with them. They stopped eating, and we were scared they would die. So we entrusted them to the Holy Child of Atocha who miraculously intervened, and the animals recovered and look better than ever. The hens lay many eggs, the cow gives much more milk, and the piglets look fatter. We give thanks.

The pig I was going to kill for the feast chased me. Thanks for he didn’t catch me.

The pig Max keeps the animals subdued and makes them bring him corncobs. South Cross, help to cure him.
