Setting: | Soissons | Protagonist(s): | : a sceptical man |
A convent at Soissons owned a shoe belonging to the Virgin. A man questioned the authenticity of the relic. As punishment, his mouth was twisted so that he was in agony. He made a pilgrimage to see the shoe. He repented of his blasphemy. The abbess healed him by rubbing the shoe across his face. He left his master’s service and became a servant at the convent. |
