| Setting: | Seville and Tudia | Protagonist(s): | a woman and her son |
|
A woman in Seville was unfertile, although she had tried various medicines and treatments. She made a pilgrimage to the church of the Virgin in Tudia. Kneeling before the altar, she begged the Virgin to give her a child. She promised that her if wish was granted, she would return with the child and hold vigils. The woman gave birth to a boy, but did not take him to Tudia. Consequently, the child died when he was just three years old. The woman went mad with grief, and took him to Tudia. She and her realtives placed him in front of the altar and mourned him. They said mass, and recited psalms and litanies. While they were doing this, the boy cried out from the coffin in which he had been placed. They opened the coffin and found the boy healthy and beautiful even though he had been dead for four days. They gave him some bread and wine. |
