  1. Stories of the Holy Family

    Share Share Post
    One day the Holy Family travelling into Egypt and they passed where men sowing corn and The Blessed Vergin [Virgin] said "if the soldiers pass here in pursuit of us tell them we passed when you were sowing this corn." The next day the corn was ripe and they were cutting it and the soldiers passed and they asked them did the Holy Family pass here and the men said they passed when we were sowing this corn. A deargdaol put up its head and said they passed yesterday.
