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

En la feria patronal de mi pueblo, me tocó llevar el "torito", pero se les pasó la mano de pólvora que me estaba dando harto miedo de quemarme con los fuegos artificiales. Me encomendé a San Miguelito Arcángel que me socorriera y gracias a su divina ayuda no me pasó nada, por lo que le dedico este humilde retablito. Bonifacio Negrete. Tlatlauquitepec, Puebla.

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

At the town's patron saint festival, it was my turn to carry the "little bull," but they used too much gunpowder, and I was terrified of getting burned by the fireworks. I prayed to Saint Michael the Archangel for help, and thanks to his divine intervention, nothing happened to me. Therefore, I dedicate this humble little altarpiece to him. Bonifacio Negrete. Tlatlauquitepec, Puebla.
