A deep part of Mexican folk belief and spirituality
are the milagritos—
little charms that are both amulets and thank-you notes to Heaven.
Made of tin, brass, or wood,
these tiny works can shine like gold,
a way to honor the divine for a favor granted.
Fay offers us this medallita with full faith
that we’ll treasure it in that special corner of our home—
our own little temple.
