  1. The Holy Family

    Share Share Post
    One day the Holy Family were going along the road-side and the Blessed Virgin lost her brooch. When they were passing a tin smith they asked him to make a pin for the Blessed Virgin and he said he had not time. He told her to go over to the hedge and get a thorn and it would do as well. The Holy Family went on until they came to a forge and they asked the blacksmith to make a pin for the Blessed Virgin and he began to make the pin and ever since a tin smith never has luck and the black smith is always a strong man
