It took her and took her to his house placing it on the shelves, place where once known the news for the people, they wanted to raise an altar.
But which was the surprise of the neighborhood on having realized that one morning the image had disappeared. The shepherd returned with his flock to the same place and again he found the image on the rock, is this one the place where I lift the hermitage in his honor. Since then the Mistress of Yearns. Of the worship and the worship of the Virgin of the Rock one entrusts a Brotherhood that takes his name, been founded on 1.922.
