Anastacio Valencia was digging a hole for a well, and a very horrible scorpion came out. It attacked me, and I kicked it with a stick.

San Jose, Mai 11, 1939

When Ramira Perez was pulling water from the well, came her friend with a venomous tongue to tell her some rumors. She thanks Saint Raymond for she contained herself and didn’t throw her into the well.

Puebla, 1915

My Holy, I pray you to thank you. You gave me strength to find justice against my abusive husband. The law didn’t help me, but you did. Bless me, Holy Death, and please keep my secret safe.

I thank the Holy Heart because the nagual that jumped out of the well didn’t hurt me.

Lord of Chalma, thank you for saving me another day when I was near the well and skeletons came from it. They wanted to take me with them. I thank you.

My daughter Juanita tried to save a cat who fell in the well and stuck at a bump, but almost fell down as well. Only thanks to the Virgin of the Rosary’s protection her dress caught a nail. Her sister Marta managed to grab her and cried for help. I thank for that.

When food was going scarce in our village, an amazing miracle happened. Fish began to appear in the Melquiades Alcantara’s well. And a lot of fish. We thank Saint Francis for his infinite kindness and this marvelous gift. Now we all have food in abundance.

A ghost used to appear from the well and to scare the children so they were afraid of taking water until I prayed to the Holy Child of Atocha. The saint worked the miracle and sent the soul from the well to the heaven so she scare nobody anymore.

On the All Saints’ Eve I went for water and saw the Death in the well. Frightened, I closed my eyes and prayed to the Virgin of San Juan. When I opened my eyes, the Death wasn’t there. It didn’t appear to me anymore, and I thank the Virgin for that.

A devil liked to bath in my well at the full moon nights. The water tastes like sulphur after that. I prayed to the Virgin of the Rosary to drive the devil away. The Virgin worked the miracle, and the devil never came back. And the water tastes deliciously now.

After the hurricane my sons and I found a lot of wounded animals around our house. We cured them, gave them food and some of them stayed with us. I think they told to other animals about us because many others animals began to come to our house for healing or for some water from the well. We thank the Virgin of Zapopan because the animals thank us working for us or giving milk and eggs or simply showing their love and keeping us company.

3 October 1952, Manuel Campos played with his sisters and fell down the well. His mother, Maria Luisa Campos, gives thanks to the Virgin, Patroness of Zapopan, because he was saved and was just slightly hurt. She offers this retablo to the Virgin.

Raul and Carlitos Lopez saved a kitten who fell down in a well. They thank the Holy Virgin of San Juan because the kitten didn’t drown, and now they are keeping him as a pet.
