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.

I became a widower shortly after the wedding and I didn’t wanted to marry again. I brightened my loneliness in a company of my roosters. When they noticed that I was very sad they came to peck my feet so that I see that I wasn’t alone. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for that.

We suffered from a terrible hallucination. Thank goodness nothing bad happened to us.

My rooster The Colorado had to fight with The White Cock. It was famous for being very fierce. I prayed to Saint Francis of Assisi so that nothing would happen with my rooster and he would survive the fight. No only he survived, but won the fight. Now my rooster is the best in the area. I dedicate this retablo for that.

All of my fighting cocks had been massacred before. So I entrusted myself to the Goddess of the Sea, and my rooster Thunder has not lost a battle since then. He has earned the respect and a lot of money for me.
