    There is a belief in regard to forge water, it is- One day The Holy Family we’re walking on the road and the Virgin Mary lost her brooch. She asked two shepherds for a thorn to tie her dress but they said they were too busy, though they had nothing to do but mind sheep. A smith offered to make a brooch for her. Ever since a smith that washes in the water that cooled his iron, will be made stronger.
