Cantiga 36 of the Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X
The Light on the MastheadIncipit: Muit’ amar devemos
Some men were travelling to Britain on a ship.
The vessel was struck by a storm.
They began to call on various saints to save them.
A holy abbot, on board the ship, advised them to call instead on the Virgin.
They did so, and saw a bright light glowing at the top of the mast.
When the light appeared, the wind was stilled and the ship soon arrived at port.
