On a windy day, the sea waves brought me a handsome man who became the love of my life. I thank Saint Barbara for bringing to my beach the man who will be my husband and my partner for ever.

When Marina Martinez was swimming in the sea, she had a congestion because she went swimming after having eaten. She lost her senses and went to the bottom because she swallowed a lot of water. But thanks to her devotion to the Virgin of San Juan the Virgin sent dolphins to help her. The dolphins took her out of the water and brought to the coast before she drowned.

My husband and my son were bewitched by a mermaid singing. These fools wouldn’t fish. They came back home with no fish. Finally they realized that we had nothing to eat or to sell at the market. We were dying from hunger. So then they put corks in their ears for not to be bewitched. They were able to fish again, and I thank the Virgin for we have food on our table again.

One morning, my brother and I went fishing. Suddenly two sharks appeared near us. We turned gray with fright, but that moment we implored Saint Peter for saving us from such a deadly danger. Little by little the sharks began to swim away. We bring this ex-voto, with all our faith and devotion.

A mermaid fell in love with my fiancé Jose Luis. She got so jealous, she grabbed my hair trying to take me to the bottom of the sea to drown me. I thank the Virgin of Zapopan because she gave Jose Luis enough strong to pull me out, so I wasn’t taken by the mermaid.

We were on the beach when suddenly a giant octopus came out the sea and was about to grab Mariana with its tentacles.
