Translated Title
Veneration of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos in the state of Jalisco
Description
The recto is a full-page engraving of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos with a highly decorative border. Two angels flank the image, carrying a banner that reads "Mater Immaculata Ora Pro Nobis" (or "Immaculate Mother, pray for us").
The text on the verso describes a miracle allegedly performed by Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos. Jose F. Luna, a coal merchant, fell ill from typhus. Treatments failed and his condition worsened until it seemed certain he would die. Jose's wife Amalia prayed fervently with her children to Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos. In turn, Jose made a slow but complete recovery and eventually the family visited the image of the Virgin to give thanks. The text closes with a prayer of thanksgiving.
