Notes:

Novena* booklet. This novena contains nine sets of prayers; each set starts with an episode in the martyrdom of San Cipriano, and follows with reflections that generally center in the idea of sacrifice. The last page in the booklet has a paragraph stating that José María de Jesús y Belaunzaran, a bishop from Monterrey, "conceded" 200 days of indulgence per each word in this novena. --- (*) Novenas are a very popular devotion in Mexico and Latin America in general. They consist of prayers said nine successive days, reciting the rosary. People usually gather in a neighbour's house, and the host reads the prayers from a novena booklet, which works both as guide for the steps to follow and as a prayers book. There are several types of novenas and types of requests associated to a religious character or topic in each booklet.
