    Share Share Post
    The seventh consecutive son in a family has the cure of the Ring Worm. He makes the sigh of the cross on himself and then he rubs his hand three times on the place where the ring worm is and says in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
    It cannot be done only on Mondays and Thursdays before the sun goes down.
