  1. The Holy Family and Forge Water

    Share Share Post
    The Infant Jesus, the Blessed Virgin and Saint Joseph were going along the road one day. The Blessed Virgin lost the pin of her cloak. The came to a cowherd and asked for a thorn. He said he was too busy to get one. They went on till they came to a forge and asked for a pin. The Blacksmith took out a coin and made a brooch out of it and cooled it in the trough or forge water before giving it to our Blessed Lady. That is why there is a cure in forge water.
