| 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 |
