Milagros are small devotional charms that are generally composed of gold, silver, copper or brass. Traditionally, these votives were placed in small shrines, hung on church walls, attached to crosses, paintings, nichos, retablos, saints and altars.

When a person venerated a particular saint they would use a milagro to help that saint perform a miracle (hence the word "milagro"). There was a milagro for virtually every animal, every organ and every imaginable malady. This tradition came to the New World with the arrival of the Spanish and is still practiced today.
