- In a place called Lislea, there is a hill called Mass hill. The people used to hear mass there. One christmas night they were going to have mass and some spy told the soldiers they were going to have at that time. The officer of the soldiers was a very good man, and he heard the bell for mass going but he did not say anything to others. He began to pray going along the road. He knew well where they were but he did not want to tell the rest. Very soon after that he became a convert and he became priest also.
