  2. The Cure of the Sprain

    Share Share Post
    The cure of the Sprain.
    The person that is making the cure has to get a flaxen thread that was spun by a young girl and it is said that she must have a good character. The thread has to be placed under your right knee on a stone that you think never was turned by any person. The thread has to be placed above the sprain. The prayers that are said are five Aves and the Creed in honour of God and in honour of St.Ferny.
