The eye milagro might mean protection and health of the eyes or to grant vision, insight, focus, intuition and vigilance. The eyes can also represent the concept of watching. One practice is to attach the milagro to the frame of the image of a deceased person, in the belief that this might represent the concept that the spirit of that person is watching over us and helping to defend us from spirits from the land of the dead, or pleading our case before the saints and the angels.
Milagros meaning “miracles” in Spanish, are religious folk charms found in many areas of Latin America and Southern United States. They are used by people to petition for help or protection. Each Milagro is specially made for a unique purpose so there are a variety of shapes, representing body parts, animals and other objects.
