    A Story About the Mass
    Long ago there lived a family and there was a girl of them taken ill, and she died and was buried. Her parents got a Mass said for her and as the priest was saying the Mass, the girl who was dead and buried put her hand on the altar saying, "Do not say Mass for me. I am burning in hell". The print of her hand was left on the altar and can be seen to this day.
