| Setting: | Morella, Aragón | Protagonist(s): | the owner of a vineyard |
|
A man from Morella made frequent pilgrimages to the shrine of the Virgin at Salas. He always carried with him an image of the Virgin so that he would be protected from harm. The man’s sole asset was a vineyard, which he tended with his wife’s help. One day in August, a storm rose up and the man prayed to the Virgin to spare his vineyard. While he was praying, he placed the Virgin’s image in the middle of the vines. Hail struck the neighbouring vineyards, but his was not damaged. Even the tendrils of the vines that ran from his property into the surrounding ones were left unscathed. The Virgin heeded the prayers of the man who made many pilgrimages to her shrine in Salas. |
