Milagrosa imagen de Nuestra Senora de los Remedios

Title

Description

The recto has a full-page engraving of Our Lady of Los Remedios, with a large crown and mantle. The mantle drapes over the moon and heavens at her feet, resting on a snake wrapped around a sphere. The figure is atop a pedestal. The verso has an engraving depicting Jesus with a crown of thorns and tears of blood, flanked by angels. The text describes an elderly woman who must beg for food; she visits her son who is a rich man and asks for his help. He refuses cruelly, claiming that he owes nothing to her and sends her to work in his fields. His wife, a Catholic, warns him that they must honor their parents, and she offers to serve her mother-in-law. They mount horses to find her in the fields, but a massive flood strikes and washes away the man's farms, taking his wealth with it. The author entreats the reader to wear a scapular.
