Milagrito Corazón with wooden wings - Guanajuato, Mexico
16cm x 18cm
Handcrafted by Juan Zaragoza in Guanajuato, this Milagrito Corazón (heart in Spanish) captures the beauty and devotion of traditional Mexican folk art.
Each one of Juan’s creations is lovingly shaped from wood, painted by hand and finished with tin milagritos. These small charms are deeply rooted in Mexican Catholic tradition, where they are offered as symbols of gratitude, hope and protection.
“Milagritos”, meaning little miracles, are traditionally given in thanks for prayers answered or used to express a wish for healing, guidance or care. Often shaped as hearts, body parts or everyday symbols, they carry personal meaning and spiritual intention.
Juan’s work reflects the deep-rooted spirit of his region, where craftsmanship and faith intertwine. Every detail requires care and precision, resulting in a piece that carries both beauty and meaning.
More than an ornament, each Milagrito decoration carved by Juan is a small token of love and cultural heritage, a reminder of the stories and hands that keep Mexico’s traditions alive.
