    When the soldier was coming out from mass the statue bowed to him. He was among other people and no one knew to whom the statue bowed. The priest heard of the statue and the next Sunday he watched the people walk out one by one. The statue bowed to the soldier. The priest questioned him and he told the priest his story and the priest said he was a very pious man.
