Nina de Oro Earrings
While walking the streets of San Miguel I walked into a shop selling some fine detailed milagros. Milagros ("milagro" means "miracle" in Spanish) are religious charms that are prevalent throughout Mexico and are traditionally used to request a "miracle" or thank the deities for miracles that have already happened. One can find milagros depicting legs, arms, breast, eyes, cows, pigs, hearts, lungs--just about anything that one would need help with or for which one may have received help. Mexicans purchase milagros that are meaningful to them, attach them to altars, shrines, and sacred objects found in places of worship, and pray for help with illnesses, relationships, animals or just about everything. Remember 99% of Mexico is Catholic. Milagros can be purchased in churches or from street vendors outside of the church. I created earrings so they can be worn in honor of your “Milagro”.
