EXVOTO DEDICADO A SAN BENITO

EX-VOTO TO SAN BENITO PAINTED ON TIN WITH THE FOLLOWING LEGEND:

En Día de Muertos, decidí ponerle una ofrenda a mi esposa recién fallecida cocinándole sus platillos favoritos. Esa misma noche escuché que alguien me llamaba y cuando fuí a la sala, ví con asombro que era ella regañándome por lo desabrida y salada de mi comida. Agradezco a San Benito que sólo fué esa noche que volví a ver a la enojona y quejumbrosa de mi mujer, que en vida era insoportable. Romualdo Nava. Puebla.

*****************************

On the Day of the Dead, I decided to make an offering to my recently deceased wife by cooking her favorite dishes. That same night I heard someone calling me and when I went to the living room, I saw with astonishment that it was her scolding me for how bland and salty my food was. I thank Saint Benedict that it was only that night that I saw my angry and whiny wife again, who in life was unbearable. Romualdo Nava. Puebla.
