| Setting: | Soissons | Protagonist(s): | pilgrims to Soissons |

Some pilgrims got lost in the mountains and darkness overtook them. Fearing thieves, they prayed to the Virgin. The pilgrims also asked forgiveness for their sins. They saw a bright light and, within it, a beautiful woman holding a sceptre. The maiden, surrounded by light, made the mountains glow. She then led the pilgrims to Soissons. |
