Milagros (also known as an ex-voto or dijes or promesas) are religious folk charms that are traditionally used for healing purposes and as votive offerings in Mexico, the southern United States, other areas of Latin America, and parts of the Iberian peninsula. They are frequently attached to altars, shrines, and sacred objects found in places of worship. They are usually left in request for divine intervention or in thanks for a miracle granted. In Spanish, the word milagro means miracle or surprise.

Breast milagros are used as general protection for breasts, and as a talisman for new mothers hoping to increase their milk production.
