Finding me in the battle of Puebla in the year 1863, a cannonball hit one leg and found me in the middle of the field I was lying there and the bullets passed me almost touching me, when they lift me, took me to the infirmary and the doctor said that they needed to cut my leg, but I entrust myself to Our Lady of the Small Town so that they wouldn’t cut my leg: I dedicate this altarpiece for the double miracle that she granted me. Esteban Flores gives thanks to the Holy Virgin.
September 29, 1864.
