Description

An engraving of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos fills the top half of the recto. She is flanked by cherubs in flight and birds at the top left and right hand corners. On the verso an engraving in the shape of an upside-down T intersects the text and separates it into separate columns. Inside the shape is a scene of worshippers gathered for mass in front of the image of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos, with the image at the top of the shape framed by curtains and candles. At the bottom of the page at the left and right hand corners are two figures in religious garb holding oil lamps with with smoke streaming behind. The text is comprised of prayers for Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos from the perspective of a pilgrim to the shrine. The prayer recounts devotees who were saved from shipwreck, poisoning, and fire by calling upon her, as well as punishment doled out and taken away from an impious man who mocked the Virgin and then expressed contrition. It is possibly a souvenir from the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos.
