Individual Panels from the Cantigas de Santa Maria
It was the custom of a certain woman to place long wax candles in front of the altar of Holy Mary of Salas.
The woman had a son whom she commended to the Virgin, asking her to protect him from harm.
One day, her son’s enemies beat him viciously, tearing him to pieces.
His mother brought him home and tended his wounds, binding them in linen cloths. She prayed to the Virgin of Salas to heal him.
No sooner were the wounds bandaged then they healed up completely, leaving almost no scars. In the morning, the son asked his mother to remove the bandages, and she found that the wounds had been healed.
Both mother and son went to Salas where they reported the miracle.
