Lluvia de Peces
Many people believe this phenomenon occurs because of Father José Manuel Subirana, a Spanish catholic missionary and considered by many to be a saint. He visited Honduras from 1856-1864, and upon encountering so many poor people, prayed for 3 days and 3 nights asking God for a miracle to help the poor people by providing food. The Rain of Fish has occurred ever since [7]
The phenomenon is also quoted in recent appeals by missionaries for funds to alleviate poverty in Honduras[8].
