Pic1 Paula and Luis tortillaPHARR — Sometime in the late 1970s, near the historic Hidalgo Pumphouse, an ordinary homemade tortilla became the center of an extraordinary story.

According to family members, Paula Rivera was preparing a meal in her kitchen when she noticed what she believed was the image of Jesus Christ on a small flour tortilla. She immediately called for her husband, Luis Rivera, a Hidalgo Pumphouse employee who happened to be relaxing in the living room during his day off. Together they gazed at the tortilla in amazement, convinced they had witnessed a miracle. For years afterward, people from all over the RGV would visit the couple's small home in Hidalgo to pray for miracles and healing. It’s been said that the tortilla was carefully preserved inside a hard plastic case and that it remains safeguarded, still intact, by one of Paula's granddaughters.
