| Summary of narrative | |||
| Setting: | Lugo | Protagonist(s): | a paralyzed woman |
|
A woman was almost entirely paralyzed. Her limbs were shrivelled and twisted, and no medicine could cure her. She was carried on a litter to the Church of the Virgin in Lugo and kept vigil there. On the Virgin’s feast in August, Mary straightened her limbs. Each of her limbs made a loud cracking sound as the shrunken tendons stretched. The bishop and the people who witnessed her healing wept and gave thanks to the Virgin. |
