    The Community begged for mercy but the invaders were deaf to their pleading. The Abbess prayed to God to spare them and as an answer to her prayer the party were struck blind. The invaders promised never again to attack the Convent. They were told to bathe their eyes in a well near by, they did so and immediately their sight was restored and it is said that on that night the waters were invested with healing powers. From that day to this people come to get cured of sore eyes.
