Setting: | Estremoz and Terena | Protagonist(s): | a man with rabies, named don Mateus |
The Virgin can heal anyone who asks her sincerely. She performs many miracles at her shrine at Terena, near Monsarás. A man named don Mateus from Estremoz was stricken with rabies. His relatives took him to Terena. They had already prepared his coffin, and had given him up for dead. Nevertheless, the Virgin cured him of his affliction. Everyone should serve the Virgin and take her as a shield against the devil. |
