Antonio Huerta and his wife Dionisia thank Saint Jude Thaddeus because their pig gave birth to the piglets and they didn’t die like always before. They offer this retablo for the favor.

July 18, I was feeding my father’s piglets when they suddenly attacked me. I thought this was the end for me. I prayed to the Virgin of Guadalupe, and my uncle arrived and saved me from the pigs.

Little Julio got in the pigsty and was bitten by a pig. He almost lost his arm. His mother prayed to the Virgin of San Juan for delivering the boy from losing his arm. The Virgin saved him. The grateful mother brings this retablo.

An eagle used to take my pigs. But one day when it caught my piglet, I got so mad, I started to kick it with the broom and then I threw the broom into it. I hit it so hard, that the eagle dropped his pray. I thank the Virgin for the piglet fell into the drinking trough and didn’t get hurt. And the eagle never came back.

There was an epidemic in the village that infected the animals. With all my faith, I entrusted myself to the Virgin of Guadalupe so that she would save my animals. They were saved, didn’t got infected and stayed in good health. They are all I have, and I thank you. May you be blessed, Virgin.

Me and my husband have no kids and maybe because of that we love our pigs so much. When there was the plague that killed pigs in our region we couldn’t sleep. We were worried that our pigs were going to die. But thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe, who protected them, our pigs didn’t get ill. We thank for that.

A horrible devil possessed my sweet and beloved animals and set them against me. When I saw them coming to attack me I took out the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the shinning of her image scared the devil. My animals recovered their mind, and I give thanks for the miracle.

Virgin, I thank you because the eagle who stole my animals dropped my piglet but it wasn’t hurt. Thank you, Virgin.

I thank the Virgin of Sorrows for saving my piglet.

Aurelia Medina was walking very happy because she had bought two beautiful piglets at the market square. She didn’t notice a deep pit and fell into it. She prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan, and a peasant, who was passing by, took her and the piglets out.

A big furious swine started chasing us when we were on our way to Silao. We thanks the Lord of Villaseca, for we managed to run away from it because the animal was running very fast.
