Summary of narrative | |||
Setting: | Berria [Vivarais, France] | Protagonist(s): | a crippled man |
A man felt a burning sensation in his foot and lay before the altar in a church dedicated to the Virgin. The pain was so intense that he had his foot amputated. Nevertheless, he continued to pray to the Virgin to perform a miracle on his behalf. While he was sleeping, the Virgin stroked his foot and healed the flesh. When he woke up he examined his foot. After discovering that it had been restored, he began to walk around. Everyone who heard the news came to see it and gave thanks to the Virgin. They held her miracles to be more glorious than those of any other saint. |
