Setting: Lérida Protagonist(s): a woman and her son

Several children of a woman from Lérida died within a short time.

As she mourned the last one, she was overcome with grief.

For two days she prayed to the Virgin to revive him.

Then she decided to take him to Salas and lift him up in front of the altar.

She did this, and the child came alive in her arms.

The people praised and blessed the Virgin.
