| Setting: | Niebla and Santa Maria do Porto | Protagonist(s): | a woman with rabies |
|
A woman from Nielba contracted rabies. For five days, she had nothing to eat or drink and could not rest. She bit people and barked like a dog. The people bound her hands and feet and brought her to Santa Maria do Porto. When the woman entered the church and saw the altar, she calmed down and slept. The Virgin appeared to her, took her by the hand, and told her that she had come to cure her. She advised her to have something to eat and drink. The woman asked for some food and the people gave it to her. Her husband, realising that his wife had been cured, praised the Virgin. |
