One of them tells of a group of travelers carrying the saint on assignment, but after resting in Real del Monte to continue their route, the figure could not be lifted, as if it wanted to stay in the area and they decided to leave it; the other goes back to some miners in danger and they said in Nahuatl “Cel-Ontla” to ask for help.
