Cantiga 077 of the Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X

The Contorted Woman of Lugo
A woman was almost entirely paralyzed.

Her limbs were shrivelled and twisted, and no medicine could cure her.

She was carried on a litter to the Church of the Virgin in Lugo and kept vigil there.

On the Virgin’s feast in August, Mary straightened her limbs.

Each of her limbs made a loud cracking sound as the shrunken tendons stretched.

The bishop and the people who witnessed her healing wept and gave thanks to the Virgin.
