What is a milagro?

Milagros serve to remind the saint of the devotee’s prayers or to thank the saint for prayers that have been answered. In churches, one may glimpse wooden statues of the saints, the Virgin Mary, or Christ adorned with tiny arms, legs, animals, praying figures, hearts, and other “prayers.”

Horse or sheep figures are left to ask for help in healing sick animals or for ensuring fertility. Hearts are often left to thank the saint for answering the prayers of the lovelorn. Milagro translates to miracle from Spanish.
