    It is said that the blessed virgin lost a brooch and she met two Jewellers on the road and she asked a brooch of them but they refused her, then she went on to a blacksmith and she asked him to make a brooch and he said he would and the water that the brooch was cooled in she blessed it and that's the reason the water (cures the warts) that is in the blacksmith's forge cures warts.
