Setting: Salas Protagonist(s): a crippled man

Because of his sins, a man suffered an illness that twisted his limbs and left him crippled.

He stayed that way for five years.

He vowed that if he were cured he would take a quantity [a libra] of wax to Salas every year.

He was immediately cured.

Without delay, he went to Salas with the wax. Although he had not walked for a long time, he was nimble and felt no pain.

They thanked and praised Mary for the miracle.rn
