Exvotos To St. Francis Of Assisi
The pictures here were taken in the church in the old mining town of Real de Catorce, in San Luis Potosi. There is a side room of the church dedicated to exvotos.
We dedicate this retablo to Saint Francis for having saved us.

Lucas Games entrusted his son, Felix, 6 years old,
to our Lord and to Saint Francis of Assisi.
Felix was missing one morning, and they called to Saint Francis. Having found him on the road, a man picked him up and took him home. He was lost 18 hours. His parents marveled and were full of happiness at this apparent miracle, and so dedicated this humble retablo.
