  1. Story about the Holy Family

    Share Share Post
    When Herod's soldiers were in pursuit of the holy family they asked a certain insect on what day the Holy Family had passed that way. The insect answered "Indé Inde" and the soliders set off in hot pursuit.
    The teller thought the insect referred to was the earwig.
