  1. (continued from previous page)
    The old man said that could not be, but the old woman threw herself on her knees and begged the saints pardon. She asked why she did such a thing and the old woman replied that it was on account of the cross she wore (golden). Ever after the saint wore a silver cross. ever since crosses are made and stuck into the thatch.
