    Stories of the Holy Family
    There are not many stories tld about the Holy Family in this locality. One story is told about a long black beetle which walks along the ground and when anyone comes near him he raises he back part of his body. It is said that when the Holy Family was escaping from Herods soldiers, this beetle told hem that hey had gone along the road where he was.
    On account of this when the children see him they kill him.
