What are Milagros?

Milagros are small charms often made from pot metal to signify miracles, healings, luck, and love that have been recieved by the person praying for them. They are small x-votos or offereings made to the saints and God for miracles granted.  There are stomach milagros for stomach ailments, healings, heart milagros for healing the heart both physically and emotionally, hand milagros for creativity, and for physical ailments....there is a mialgros for everyhting.
