    (continued from previous page)
    Blessed Virgin in darkness. After a while he returned again with a lighted candle in his hand. Then he said that when the good woman would die, all her children would go to meet her and each one would have a light (candle) to bring her soul to Heaven. He also said that when the other woman would die she would have to find her way alone through the darkness.
