- (continued from previous page)On this flag the Saint slept and to this day the track of her hip and head are to be still seen.
Year after year the stations were performed by hundreds of people until a woman who was performing a station at the well visited the place alone, and as it was not right to visit this place alone she took all the indulgences attached to the well with her.
In the time of the great flood a remarkable thing happened at this well.
The torrents of water were so strong that they tore up trees by the roots and carried off banks of earth around the well but the water paned over the well gently not stirring a grain of sand.
