I give thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe for saving me from a tremendous viper bite when I went to the field. I was praying to the Virgin in heaven, and that moment my nephew appeared. He helped me to arrive to where I was helped and my life was saved.

The Lopez brothers went fishing, and the sea snake appeared to them. They were petrified with fear. But their dog, that always went with them, started to bark and to grunt. The snake got scared and swam away. The brothers give thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan because the snake didn’t hurt them.

Luis Ramirez got to dream under a tree, and a snake bit him right in his face. He thanks Saint Luis (Aloysius) Gonzaga because he survived after being in grave condition.

The Felipe Gonzales’s horse was scared by a viper and in spite of all Felipe’s efforts fell down from the cliff. Only thanks to the miracle of the Virgin of Guadalupe they didn’t hurt themselves and didn’t brake the bones.

A beautiful snake came to play with the animals. Thank you for it didn’t harm them.

A worker from the don Alejandro’s banana plantation was stung by a venomous snake. The doctor from the hacienda told that he had small chances to survive. But thanks to the prayers of Ana Luisa Hernandez, the wife of the worker, the Virgin of Zapopan saved his life.

With this drawing, I want to thank Saint Francis for the miracle he made. Your slave Juan Luis Rubert had some drinks in the bar. On the way back, I was riding a horse and hit my head on a badly planted tree. I fell off the horse and broke two ribs and one leg. On top of everything I was stung by a viper.

However, that moonless night Saint Francis heard my prayers. He sent me my neighbor Geniero, who was passing by on his donkey. He took me to the hospital where I met Dr. Paty and fell in love with her.

I was going from Villalpina at full gallop, and my horse frightened by a viper fell right on me breaking my spine. I felt terrible pain and couldn’t move. So I implored you, Virgin of Guadalupe, to heal me. And two months later I was cured. Thank you for this miracle.

Fernando Perez worked as snake charmer. One day he wanted to kiss a cobra but the snake bit his mouth. Since his condition was very dangerous he entrusted himself to Saint Charbel. Fernando thanks him for saving his life.
